As the aforementioned bloodthirstiness of the
heathen at Alexandria did not abate, but increased
more and more, against those who confessed the
name of Jesus Christ, it came to pass that they laid
their hands on a pious Christian, called Serapion,
an Ephesian by birth. They dragged him out of his
house, tore him almost limb from limb, and finally
threw him out of a window; in consequence of
which, after many torments, and having commended
his soul to God, he tasted death, and thus
was counted among the number of the steadfast and
blessed martyrs. See the books cited above.
