He writes: “At this time there was also beheaded,
after a glorious confession, Anthimus,
bishop of Nicomedia, together with a great number
of the faithful. Nicephorus writes that he was first
most cruelly beaten; that they then bored his heels
through with burning pins, threw him on potsherds,
put red-hot slippers on his feet, tore the skin and
flesh from his body, burned him with torches,
stoned him, and finally beheaded him.” The same
way trod Tyrannion, bishop of the church of Tyre,
Zenobius of Sidon, Sylvanus of Gaza, and Pamphilius,
concerning whom Eusebius wrote a special
book.” Joh. Gys., fol. 23, col. 3, from Euseb.,
lib. 8, cap. 6. Cyprian., lib. 7, cap. 6.
