> Andochius (in French, Andoche), Thyrsis, and Felix (d. c272, supposedly) are martyrs of Saulieu near Autun recorded in a legendary Passio thought to be of the fifth century (BHL 424-426; no witness earlier than the ninth century) and in later manuscripts of the (ps-)HM. The Passio makes them martyrs under Aurelian. They are entered in the ninth-century martyrologies of Florus, Ado, and Usuard.
