Messanae, in Sicilia, natalis sanctorum Martyrum Eleutherii, Episcopi Illyrici, et Anthiae matris. Ipse, cum esset vitae sanctimonia et miraculorum virtute illustris, sub Hadriano Principe, lectum ferreum ignitum, craticulam et sartaginem, oleo et pice ac resina ferventem, superans, projectus quoque leonibus sed ab illis nil laesus, novissime simul cum matre jugulatur.
