A. D. 923, a terrible persecution was raised by
the Arabians against the Christian believers, in the
region of Cordova. This occurred mainly through
the wickedness of the Arabian King Habdarrhaghman
IV., who allowed himself to be called protector
of the law of God, and king of the believers; but,
being filled with bitter hatred against the true law of
Jesus Christ, and, consequently, also against the
true Christian believers, he considered and declared
all Christians unbelievers and despisers of the law of
God. But he did not stop at this, but raged against
them in an awful manner, yea, persecuted them with
fire and sword. One thing, however, in connection
with this grieves us to the very heart, namely, that
the records of the pious witnesses of Jesus Christ
who were killed by him, have all been lost, except
of two, namely, Eugenia and a youth of thirteen
years; of whom we shall give an account presently.
Touching said persecution; compare A. Mell.,
2d book, fol. 312, col. 2, with Ruderic., Archiep.
Tolet., and Alii. Rer., Hisp. Script.
