When some Christians, in their zeal for the truth,
had reproved Firmilian, the Proconsul of Palestine,
for his great idolatry, and were put to death on this
account, on the thirteenth of November, A. D. 307,
a certain young maiden, named Ennathas, a native
of the city of Scythopolis, came there on the same
day, not of her own accord, however, but through
compulsion, and, together with the others, boldly
laid down her life for the name of Jesus Christ. She
was at first most unmercifully treated, nay, in a
manner too shameful and horrible for description.
Finally, when she remained steadfast nevertheless,
in the confession of her faith, the Judge pronounced
sentence of death upon her, namely, that she should
be burnt alive; and thus this pious martyr pressed
through the strait gate, leaving her flesh on the
posts; which the Lord shall afterwards crown and
reward with glory and majesty. See, A. Mell., 1st
book, fol. 125, col. 4, from Euseb., J. Gys., fol. 26,
col. 4.
