Read Baring-Gould’s full account

Baring-Gould’s sources: Roman Martyrology. Authority: — Eusebius, Hist. Eccl. lib. viii. NTONINUS, a priest, Zebinas, and Germanus, Christian laymen, were brought before Fermilian, at Caesarea, in the persecution of Maximinus, and were executed with the sword on November 13. On the same day Eunathas, a woman of Scythopolis, a professed virgin, was brutally scourged, stripped to her waist, and beaten in this condition through the streets. She was then brought back to the magistrate, who condemned her to be burned alive.
