Liber Pontificalis 77

Eugenius, natione Romanus, de regione prima Aventinense, clericus a cunabulis, ex patre Rufiniano, sedit ann. II mens. VIIII dies XXIIII. Benignus, mitis, mansuetus, omnibus affabilis et sanctitatis praeclarior. Rogam clero solitam tribuit et indigentibus elemosynam subministravit, ut etiam die transitus sui pauperibus vel clero seu familiae presbyteria in integro erogari praeceperit.

'Eugenius, born in Rome, from the 1st—the Aventine—region, a cleric from his cradle, son of Rufinianus, held the see
2 years 9 months 24 days. He was kind, mild, meek, courteous to all, and of remarkable holiness. He gave the customary stipend to the clergy and supplied alms to the needy, so that he ordered the full priestly allowances
to be distributed to the poor, the clergy, and the household even on the day he passed away.'

Qui etiam sepultus est ad beatum Petrum apostolum sub die IIII non. iun.
