In this catalogue or company of such holy martyrs, as suffered in this foresaid tenth persecution, many more and almost innumerable there be expressed in authors, beside them whom we have hitherto comprehended, as Philoromus, a man of noble birth,1 & great possessions in Alexandria, who being persuaded by his friends to favour himself, to respect his wife, to consider his children and family did not only reject the counsels of them,2 but also neglected the threats and torments of the Judge, to keep the confession of Christ inviolate unto the death, & losing of his head. Euseb. Lib. 8. cap. 9. Niceph. Lib. 7. cap. 9. of whom Euseb. beareth witness that he was there present himself.
