After these painful tortures, he was plunged into the sea. Thus through fire and water, he reached everlasting repose."[6]
  3. ^ "In the same city, the passion of St. Theodosia, a virgin of Tyre, who, in the same persecution, for having publicly saluted the holy confessors as they stood before the tribunal, and begged of them to remember her when they should be with God, was arrested and led to the governor Urban. By his order, her sides and breasts were lacerated to the very vitals, and she was thrown into the sea."[6]
