Full title of story by anonym: "Martyrdom of the Holy Children, nine in number, who were spiritual brothers by baptism at the Sacred Font, but were born each of a different mother". Preserved only one - 10th century manuscript on Mount Athos.

The touching story of the nine infant martyrs of Kola illustrates the conflict between the Christian message and the faiths of pre-Christian Georgia (Before 4th century). There is no reason to question the authenticity of the tale, which is based on the local traditions of Kola, a locality in south-western Georgia existing to the present day.
