Life
These two holy souls had come from their places in Batanea to Caesarea of Cappadocia, to visit the imprisoned Christians in the prison, and to console and encourage them. But they too were seized and condemned to death. Adrian was beheaded by the sword, and Eubulus was cast before wild beasts in the year 309. And thus, not regretting this life, they honorably and joyfully passed into eternal life.
