Martyrdom
Eupsychios is identified in some accounts as the son of a senator named Dionysius, of Caesarea in Cappadocia. During the Hadrianic persecution he was arrested, tortured, and thrown into prison. According to tradition he was healed of his wounds by an angel during his imprisonment.
On his release Eupsychios gave away all that he had to the poor, distributing even portions to those who had accused and tortured him. A new governor then seized him; he was suspended and cut with iron hooks before being killed by beheading. He is venerated as a martyr of the undivided Church and is commemorated in both the Orthodox Synaxarion and the Roman Martyrology.
