Thin entry · the 1897 book gives only 65 words. We have not filled the gap with invented detail.
Eupsychius who suffered under Hadrian is said to have been discharged after his arrest, when he sold all his possessions, and gave part of the proceeds to the poor, and part to those who had delated him to the magistrate. He was again arrested; his sides were tom with iron hooks, and he was then transfixed with a sword, by order of the judge Sapricius.
Give to people in need. The account records care for the poor.
Keep their day. Remember them on September 7 with a short prayer, and ask for their help.
