Ἤδη δὲ καὶ εἰς πέμπτον ἔτος τοῦ διωγμοῦ παραταθέντος, μηνὸς δευτέρᾳ Ξανθικοῦ, ἥτις ἐστὶ πρὸ τεσσάρων Νώνων Ἀπριλλίων, ἐν αὐτῇ κυριακῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν ἀναστάσεως, αὖθις ἐπὶ τῆς Καισαρείας Θεοδοσία τῶν ἀπὸ Τύρου παρθένος, πιστὸν καὶ σεμνότατον κόριον, οὐδ ὅλως ἐτῶν ὀκτωκαίδεκα, δεσμίοις τισὶ καὶ αὐτοῖς τὴν Χριστοῦ βασιλείαν ὁμολογοῦσι, πρό τε τοῦ δικαστηρίου καθεζομένοις, πρόσεισιν ὁμοῦ φιλοφρονουμένη, καὶ οἷα εἰκὸς ὑπὲρ τοῦ μνημονεύειν αὐτῆς πρὸς τὸν κύριον γενομένους παρακαλοῦσα.1
Translation
Again, in Caesarea, when the persecution had continued to the fifth year, on the second day of the month Xanthicus, which is the fourth before the Nones of April, on the very Lord’s day of our Savior’s resurrection, Theodosia, a virgin from Tyre, a faithful and earnest maiden, not yet eighteen years of age, went up to certain prisoners who were confessing the kingdom of Christ and sitting before the judgment seat, and saluted them, and, as is probable, besought them to remember her when they came before the Lord.2
