It is stated that in the last persecution resumed
under Alexandrinus Severus there were put to death
among different other persons, for the name of Jesus
Christ and the testimony of the evangelical truth,
Agapitus, a youth of fifteen years; Calapodius, an
elder (of whom P. J. Twisck writes, though two
years earlier than J. Gysius, that he was apprehended
for the doctrine of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, and, refusing to sacrifice to the heathen
gods, was dragged with great ignominy through
the city of Rome, and drowned in the Tiber. 3d
book, page 59, col. 2, from Bergomens, lib. 8.);
Tiburtius and Valerianus, two brothers were likewise
put to death, as well as Quiritius and his
mother Julia, and Cecilia and Martina, both of them
virgins; all of whom were put to death for the name
of Jesus Christ, either in the water, or in the fire,
or by the sword, or in some other manner. See,
Joh. Gys., fol. 19, col. 1.
