Eugenia, an Upright Christian Woman, in the Year 923

It is recorded that in the year 923, an upright Christian woman called Eugenia was arrested in the aforementioned persecution, and, remaining steadfast in the confession of the faith in the Son of God, was beheaded on the sixteenth of March, in the year 923, by the tyrant and persecutor Habdarrhaghman.

It is stated that in digging the foundation of a building in a village called Marmolejos, near Cordova, where she was martyred, an epitaph was found, and the first letters of each line spelled her name: Eugenia Martyr, that is, Eugenia the Witness (namely, of Jesus), as a token that she had died for the testimony of Jesus her Savior. From it could be gathered, further, the time when this took place, as well as the manner in which she was put to death, namely, that she was beheaded with the sword, at the time indicated above.* [n362-1]
