CARPUS, Papylus and Agathonice, Saints. - Martyred at Pergamum (Asia Minor), probably during the persecution of Decius (250-51). The acts of their interrogation and death are authentic: C. was a bishop and P. a deacon. After the regular interrogation they were suspended from a stake and burned alive. Immediately afterward the Christian A. was tried and executed in the same manner. The feast is on April 13.
