Continuing in his account, the above mentioned
author finally speaks of the year 628, for which, in
the beginning, he records these words: “About this
time, the Christians had to suffer much also in Persia.”
He then relates that the Emperor Heraclius,
having come into Persia, liberated many of the imprisoned
Christians; the number, however, of those
who suffered, as well as of those who were delivered
from imprisonment, is not expressed, and
hence we can add no further explanation. Chron.,
page 221, from Hist. Eccl. Hedio., lib. 5, cap. 18
and 19.

All explanation further necessary, concerning the
imprisonment and the sufferings of said Christians in
Persia, and how far they are recognized by us, must
be looked for in the preceding notice.
