Troparion — Tone 6
Trained in asceticism on the mountain, / with the weapon of the Cross you destroyed the spiritual assaults / of the hostile powers, all-blessed one; / once again you bravely prepared for combat / and for both struggles you have been crowned by God, monk-martyr Dometius of eternal memory.
