Euphemia, Lúcia et Geminianus, in persecutióne Diocletiáni, non eodem loco, sed eodem die,
martyrio coronáti sunt. Euphemia Virgo apud Chalcédonem, Prisco proconsule, varia
tormentórum genera, virgárum, equulei, rotárum, ignis constanter passa; demum béstiis
objecta, una ex iis morsum sancto corpori infigente, ceteris pedes ejus lambéntibus,
immaculátum spíritum Deo réddidit. Lúcia, vidua Romana, a fílio Eutropio quod Christum multos
annos coluísset accusata, in ollam pice ac plumbo ferventuem dimittitur; unde incólumis
evadens, cum ferro plumboque oneráta per Urbem ducerétur, Geminianum, nóbilem virum,
constántia fidei et martyrii ad Christum convértit. Quem étiam cum multis aliis ad fidem
perductis, varie tortum, gloriosi martyrii, abscisso cápite, socium hábuit. Quorum córpora
Maxima, mulier christiana, honorifice sepelívit.

Euphemia, Lucy, and Geminian were all crowned with Martyrdom in the persecution under
Diocletian, upon the same day, though not in the same place. Euphemia was a maiden of
Chalcedon, who suffered diverse tortures under the Proconsul Priscus. She endured
unflinchingly the rods, the rack, the wheels, and the fire, and in the end was thrown to
wild beasts. These all licked her feet, save one, which gave her holy body such a bite, that
she forthwith resigned her guileless spirit to God. Lucy was a widow at Rome, who was
accused by her own son Eutropius, for that she had for many years worshipped Christ. She was
put into a vessel of hot pitch and lead, but came forth unhurt. As she was being haled
through the city loaded with iron and lead, the sight of her faith and unwavering
testification turned to Christ the nobleman Geminian. He was one of many whom she had
brought to the faith, and she had him for a comrade in her glorious martyrdom, for he was
diverse ways tormented, and then beheaded. Their bodies were given honourable burial by the
Christian lady Maxima.
