Euphrosyne 5 was a deaconess and abbess of the monastery of SS. Marcellinus and Petrus, at Naples ("Eufrosina venerabilis diacona et abbatissa monasterii sanctorum Marcellini et Petri"); in a document dated 1 March 763 (indiction 1, in the regnal years 45 of Constantine V, i.e. 765 and 12 of Leo IV, i.e. 763; the indiction corresponds to March 763) she made a grant of a domus and garden to Stephanos and his family and heirs, in emphyteusis and on condition that they paid 8 gold solidi per annum: Capasso, Monumenta I, pp. 262-263.
