In Meroe a city of Phrygia, three honest citizens, Macedonius, Theodulus, & Tacianus, when as the day before, the chief officer of the city had set open a temple of Idols, which had until that time bin shut up, to the intent there should now be sacrifice done in it, in the night entering into it they plucked down the Idols, and brake them. But when this judge and chief officer Amatius began to have tormented sundry Christians whereby he might come to knowledge who had broken the Idols: these three coming unto the judge, desired him not to torment any man for breaking the Idols, for they were the doers of it. Wherefore they were taken and roasted a great while, & at length burnt. In the same persecution Artemius lieutenant of egypt, because he constantly professed y• faith of Christ: was spoiled of all his goods, & in the end lost his head: y• like whereof many good, and honest men suffered. whoso desireth a more large description of these things: let him read y• 6. book of y• Tripartite history, also the histories of Ruffi. Theodo. and Sozo. ⟨image 52⟩
