Quotidianus of Cappadocia

Quotidianus of Cappadocia would have been, according to legend, a Christian saint and martyr, martyred together with other companions from the same region, one of whom was perhaps named Eugenius, in an uncertain place in Cappadocia and at an unknown date. In 1631 they are mentioned by Cesare Baronio in the Roman Martyrology, which takes up the tradition of some ancient martyrologies; it says only that Quotidianus was a deacon and was martyred on 6 September together with a certain Eugenius and other companions. According to the Acta Sanctorum of the Bollandists, of 1748, the story has variants: for example the place of birth of Quotidianus would be Reaten or Teriaten, two cities that do not exist in Cappadocia, and the presence of Eugenius, or that he was a bishop, may come from a confusion with Eugenius of Carthage. A holy martyr of the undivided Church, venerated in the West, with an uncertain history.
