Then the emperor ordered to remove their signs military decorations - the military zone, but nevertheless, let them go free, hoping that they will change their minds while he fights.The youths left the city and took refuge in a cave on Mount Ohlon (Celine, Peony - there are various options, Simeon Lekhatsi identifies it with Keshish Dagh ), where they prayed, preparing for martyrdom.
