Cyzici, in Propontide, natalis sanctorum Martyrum Faustae Virginis, et Evilasii, sub Maximiano Imperatore; e quibus Fausta, ab eodem Evilasio, idolorum sacerdote, decalvata et ad turpitudinem rasa, suspensa et torta est. Deinde, cum eam vellet mediam secare, et carnifices laedere non valerent, stupens credidit in Christum Evilasius; et, dum ipse quoque, Imperatoris jussu, fortiter torqueretur, Fausta, capite terebrata, clavis toto corpore confixa et sartagini ignitae imposita, tandem, cum eodem Evilasio, illam voce de cadis vocante, transivit ad Dominum.
