The Acts of Carpus, Papylus, and Agathonice is a martyrdom account about three Christians traveling through Pergamum until they are discovered by the pagan authority of the city and put to death by them.
[2] The consul had his servant Agathodorus scourged to death with bull's sinews to encourage the apostasy, but Carpus continued to refuse.
[4] The earliest known woman to be martyred from Eusebius's written works, Agathonice witnessed the death of her brother Papylus and Bishop Carpus.
[5] Eusebius places the persecutions during the reign of Marcus Aurelius, which some biblical scholars assign a date to the second century AD.
[1][4] However, the Latin version's qualities points to the third century AD of Decius's reign, and with these differences, scholars can't conclude the actual date because of the two suggested emperors in which the acts occurred.
