She suffered many torments, and a cruel death, for the faith in the
persecution of Dioclesian, at Tyro, a city which stood formerly in
an island in the lake of Bolsero in Tuscany, but has been long since
swallowed up by the waters. Her relics are now at Palermo in Sicily.
She is much honored both in the Latin and Greek church, and is named
in the Martyrologies which bear the name of St. Jerom, that of Bede
augmented by Florus, and others. See Ughelli, Italia Sacra, t. 5, and
Pinius the Bollandist, t. 5, Julij, p. 495.
