It is recorded that A. D. 923, an upright Christian
woman, called Eugenia, was apprehended in the
aforementioned persecution, and, remaining steadfast
in the confession of the faith in the Son of God,
was beheaded, on the sixteenth of March, A. D. 923,
through the tyrant and persecutor Habdarraghman.

It is stated that in digging the foundation of some
building, in a village called Marmolejos, near Cordova,
where she was martyred, an epitaph was
found, the first letters of each line of which spelled
her name: Eugenia Martyr, that is, Eugenia the
Witness (namely, of Jesus), as a token that she had
died for the testimony of Jesus her Savior. There
could be gathered from it, further, the time when
this took place, as well as the manner in which she
was put to death, namely, that she was beheaded
with the sword, at the time indicated above.[149](/en/stories/mm-footnotes/part-12/#Footnote_149)
