Other were condemned to the mines, as Nemesianus, ²Felix, ³Lucius, ⁴with their bish, priests, & deacons: to whom Cyprian wrote consolatory epistles. He wrote also consolatory Epistles to Seagrius ⁵& Rogatianus, ⁶being then in bonds for the trueth. In the time of this Gallus, was Lucius B. of Rome sent into banishment, (who next succeeded Cornelius in the year 256.) wherein he continued but a while, and returned to his Church. Lucius sate but 8. months, as saith Eusebius, Damasus, Marianus, Scotus, and Nauclerus say he sate 3. years, and was beheaded the second year of Valerian, and Galienus.
