(DATE UNKNOWN.)
[Roman and most ancient Western Martyrology.]
Nothing is known of this saint, except that she was a servant or
slave-girl--as indeed her name implies--to a soldier at Nicomedia, and
that she steadfastly resisted his importunities, till, exasperated at
her opposition to his passion, he killed her, in an explosion of anger.
Her real name is unknown; the name Dula is simply the Greek word for
servant-maid.
