Source heading; not independently verified

Shortly after the death of the martyrs Apphian
and Ulpian, the enemies of the divine and Christian
truth laid their hands on Aedesius, the brother of
Apphian. After making many excellent confessions
for the name of the Lord, he was sentenced to be
sent as a slave to the mines of Palestine.

Finally, when he happened to see, in the city of
Alexandria, how the Proconsul pronounced sentence
of death upon the Christians, and sometimes
caused manifold indignities to be heaped upon aged
persons, together with other wickednesses practiced
by him, he boldly went into the court to the Judge,
and openly reproved him on account of the unjust
and wicked sentences he pronounced upon the
innocent Christians. For this he was most unmercifully
tormented, which pains he meekly and not
less steadfastly endured. He was then thrown into
the sea, and drowned, even as had been done with
his brother. See the above cited books.
