At Tarragona in Hither Spain, the passion of the holy martyrs Fructuosus, bishop, and Augurius and Eulogius, his deacons, who, under the emperors Valerian and Gallienus, after confessing the faith before the procurator Aemilianus, were led into the amphitheatre. There, when the bishop had offered a prayer in a clear voice for the peace of the Church as the faithful stood by, they were cast into the flames and, kneeling in supplication, completed their martyrdom.
