Historical martyrology witness · Martyrologium Romanum (Latin historical edition)
Chalcedone natalis sanctae Euphemiae, Virginis et Martyris; quae, sub Diocletiano Imperatore et Prisco Proconsule, tormenta, carceres, verbera, argumenta rotarum, ignes, pondera lapidum, bestias, plagas virgarum, serras acutas, sartagines ignitas pro Christo superavit. Sed, rursus in theatrum ad bestias ducta, ibi, cum orasset ad Dominum ut jam spiritum suum susciperet, una ex iis morsum sancto corpori infigente, ceteris pedes ejus lambentibus, immaculatum spiritum Deo reddidit.
