Further to Cyril of Heliopolis and companions:
The martyr Aemilianus whose depiction in the Visoki Dečani monastery near Peć is linked to in that earlier post's notice of these saints is better known as Aemilianus of Durostorum. He has a Passio of his own (BHG 33).
Further to Gunthram:

a) Gunthram (seated, center) pointing to a kneeling Childebert who is shown receiving a crown (Lyon, Bibliothèque municipale, ms. 880 [later 14th cent.], fol. 52v:
