Bebaia

Holy Martyr Bebaia suffered together with her brother Thathuel in the time of the emperor Hadrian (others say Trajan), in the year 116. Thathuel was a priest of demonic error and was taught Christianity by a bishop. For this he was cruelly scourged by the local governor Avgar, and then his eyes were put out. Then they hung him by one hand, flayed his belly and burned his sides with fire. In the end both received the crown of martyrdom, being beheaded.

Spyridon Eustratiades states in his Hagiologion that the martyrs were from Edessa in Syria and became Christians through bishop Barsippus (or Barsimaeus). They are commemorated on 4 September, in the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
