(A.D. 304.)

&c. Authority:--The Acts, apparently not in their original form, but
trustworthy.]
S. Sergius lived a retired, hermit life, near Cæsarea, in Cappadocia.
When he heard of the breaking out of persecution, under the Emperors
Diocletian and Maximian, his zeal led him to come into the city, and
appear before Sapricius, the governor, and proclaim his abhorrence of
the gods of Rome. The governor at once ordered him to execution.
His relics were translated to Ubeda, in the diocese of Taragona, in
Spain.
