Source heading; not independently verified

In the preceding number of several thousand
martyrs who laid down their lives under Maximin,
in the sixth persecution, none of them are mentioned
by name, doubtless because in the estimation of the
world they were mostly lowly and obscure people;
but Sebastian Franck relates from some ancient
writers that about sixty noted martyrs received the
crown of martyrdom under this tyrant; which would
be too long to recount. Chron. des Keysers, fol. 21,
col. 3.
