Two Sisters at Antioch Drowned in the Sea, in the Year 309

TWO SISTERS AT ANTIOCH DROWNED IN THE SEA, BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT RENOUNCE CHRIST THEIR SAVIOR, IN THE YEAR 309

In the eighth year of Diocletian's persecution, that is, in the year 309, there were at Antioch two sisters, young maidens, of modest manners and pious life, intelligent and well informed in the way of godliness; so that the world was not worthy to contain them any longer.

See the above named author, in the same book, folio 129, column 1, from Euseb.
