Latin source: Heiligenlexikon
A brief notice of St. Euphrosynus, a bishop, along with Priamianus (or Prianus) and nine unnamed companions, martyred at Nicomedia. Known from the Martyrology of St. Jerome; little else survives about them.

CONCERNING THE HOLY MARTYRS EUPHROSYNUS THE BISHOP, PRIAMIANUS OR PRIANUS, AND NINE OTHERS AT NICOMEDIA.

Commentary

Euphrosynus, Bishop of Nicomedia (St.) Priamianus or Prianus, at Nicomedia (St.) Nine others at Nicomedia.

The same Martyrology of St. Jerome: "At Nicomedia, of Euphrosynus the Bishop, Prianus, and nine others." The manuscript of the Monastery of Rhinow: "At Nicomedia, of Eofrosinus the Bishop, Priamianus, Era..." A certain Euphrosynus is mentioned in the Greek Menaea on March 6 who was ordered to drink boiling water and was thus killed. But he seems to be different from this one of ours: about whom, however, we have read nothing anywhere.
