In Provincia quae nuncupatur Augusta Euphratesia, sanctorum Martyrum Sergii et Bacchi, nobilinm Romanorum, sub Maximiano Imperatore. Ex his Bacchus tamdiu nervis crudis caesus est, quoadusque, toto corpore discissus, in Christi confessione emitteret spiritum; Sergius vero clavatis cothurnis pedes indutus, et, cum in fide fixus maneret, data sententia, jussus est decollari. Beati autem Sergii nomine locus ubi quiescit, Sergiopolis appellatus est, et, ob praeclara miracula, frequenti Christianorum concursu honoratur.
