Roman Martyrology: At Alexandria in Egypt, the commemoration of the holy martyrs Julian and Eunus. Because he was so crippled by the gout that he could neither stand nor walk about, Julian was brought to the judge by two servants, who carried him in a chair. One of these denied the faith, but the other, called Eunus, was steadfast in confessing Christ with his master. These two were therefore sentenced to be placed on camels and paraded around the whole city and then, in the sight of the people, to be flogged to death, under the emperor Decius.
