There was yet another pious Christian, called
Macar, or Macarius, a native of Lybia, whom the
Judge advised with many words, to forsake Christ;
but he continued only the more steadfastly to confess
his faith. Finally the Judge commanded that
he should be burned alive; which was done.

Epimachus and Alexander did not remain prisoners
very long after Macar’s death; but, after suffering
much pain, having been cut and slashed with
razors, lacerated with scourges, and wounded on
the most sensitive parts of their bodies, they were
finally burned alive with flaming fire. See the authors
cited above.
