In every place also of the Roman empire, Christians were reproachfully dealt withal, pitifully tormented ⟨image 51⟩and slain, amongst whom is remembered an ancient man, and a notable minister of Christ, Marcus bishop of Arethusa. The same in former, and more happy times, had destroyed the temple of y• gods at Arethusa, by reason whereof Julian hated him, persuading with the citizens y• they should constrain him to build up the temple again, which being impossible for him to do: they required that at the least wise he would contribute somewhat to the charges. But when he had answered that he would not give them the value of one farthing: he was by them most miserably, and cruelly, and 1to their great shame tormented, and put to death.
