Latin source: Heiligenlexikon
St. Euthasia, a martyr beheaded by the sword, known only from a brief entry in the Greek Menaea with an accompanying distich. She may be identical with St. Euthalia, treated more fully on August 27.

ON ST. EUTHASIA, MARTYR.

Commentary

On the same day, say the Menaea, Euthasia was slain by the sword. They add this distich:

"To God the Savior of the world she offers Her own severed head, Euthasia."

She is otherwise unknown, unless she is the same as Euthalia, of whom we shall treat more fully on the 27th of August.
