VICTOR, a native of Ancyra, was accused by the priests of Diana, for having abused their goddess. For this imputed crime he was seized upon, and ⟨p. 51⟩committed to prison, his house plundered, his family turned out of doors, and his estate confiscated.
BEING put to the rack, his resolution failed him, and he began to weaver in his faith, through the severity of his torments. Being carried back to prison, in order to make a full recantation, God punished him for his intended apostasy; for his wounds mortified, and put an end to his life in a few days.
