zA persecuting tyrant considering the nature of the country, that it was terribly cold, and the time of the year, that it was winter: and a night wherein the cold extremely increased, and that the northwind then blew there: commanded forty Christians to be set stark naked under the open air in the midst of the City, to freeze to death. Then when they heard that charge, with joy casting away even their innermost vestment, they went on to their death by cold.

- zTyrannus cum considerasset regionis naturam quod frigore horrida esset, & anni tempus quòd hybernum; observata nocte in qua maximè malum ipsum augesceret, & alias tunc aquilo in ipsa spiraret: jussit quadraginta Christianos nudatos sub dio in media urbe congelatos mori. Tunc ubi mandatum audivissent, cum gaudio abjecta etiam extrema tunica ad mortem per frigus precedebant. Basil. in 40. Mart. Conc. Item Greg. Nyssen. de ijsdem Orat. 2.
