5th century (?). Saint Erbin appears to have been related to one of the Cornish or Devonian chieftains. Churches were dedicated to him in Cornwall (Benedictines).

Troparion of St Erbin
Tone 3
Following in the footsteps of thy Hieromartyr Father Constantine,
thou didst dedicate thy life to Christ, O Father Erbin.
Pray for us, that we may prefer nothing to Christ
and devoting our lives only to Him,
may at the Last Day be found worthy of His great mercy.

Kontakion of St Erbin
Tone 6
O blessed and ever memorable founder of both a church and a monastery,
we raise our voices to hymn thee, Father Erbin, Pillar of Ascetics.
Thou art truly a key to heaven,
wherefore we pray thee for thy help, that following thy example
we may be instrumental in re-establishing the Orthodox Faith
in these hallowed islands.
