Baring-Gould’s sources: Spanish and Roman Martyrologies. Authority S. Euiogius of Cordova, a martyr in the same persecution.] Peter a priest, Walabons a deacon, Sabinian, Wistremund, Habentius, and Jeremias, monks, suffered in the persecution of the Mussulmans in Spain. Sabinian was quite a young man, but Jeremias was very old. He had been married and had a family, but in his old age renounced the world and entered a monastery. They presented themselves before the cadi of Cordova, declaring that they were Christians and ready to die for their faith. Jeremias was first scourged and then, with the rest, decapitated.
