Nicomediae passio sanctae Basilissae, Virginis et Martyris; quae, annos novem nata, cum in persecutione Diocletiani Imperatoris, sub Alexandro Praeside, verbera, ignes ac bestias divina virtute superasset, ipsum Praesidem ad Christi fidem convertit, ac tandem extra urbem in oratione spiritum Deo reddidit.
