Note to Anon Mey 40VII

[All]: Lucy of Rome was a native of Campania. According to her legend, she was carried off into the suburbs of Rome by Aucejas, the chief of a Teuton marauding party. He was inflamed with passion for the young Lucy, but when she announced to him that she was a Christian and a virgin dedicated to Christ, his feelings were changed to devotion. For twenty years she was worshipped as the oracle of the tribe. When she returned to Rome, Aucejas accompanied her, and both were executed shortly after their arrival.
