It is recorded that about the same time that the
aforementioned Christians were martyred, several
other pious persons suffered death for the name of
Jesus Christ, and the confession of the Son of God;
among whom are mentioned by name, three very
eminent persons, namely, Carpus, Papylus, and a
woman called Agathonica, together with many
other women; who were all crowned with the crown
of the holy martyrs at Pergamos, in Asia Minor, for
the saving confession of the true faith. Euseb., 4th
book, cap. 15, fol. 70, col. 2. A. Mell., 1st book,
fol. 42, col. 1, 2.
