Source heading; not independently verified

Eugenius, because he confessed Christ, and had
reproved the wickedness of the heathen, had his
tongue cut out, and his arms and legs broken, and
thus departed this life, steadfastly continuing in the
Lord.

Auxentius, a deacon of the Christian church at
Auracea, in Asia, was beheaded for the same reason—for
the faith in Christ.

Maodatius was hung up by his toes, and, having
been pierced with red-hot awls, and burned with
torches, was deprived of life, for the testimony of
Jesus.

Besides these, many others were put to death
for the faith, whose names cannot be given; hence
we shall content ourselves with those already
mentioned. See J. Gys., fol. 27, col. 4, at the foot,
and fol. 28, col. 1.

In the Introduction to the Martyrs Mirror, fol.
44 and 45, there are mentioned, besides the ten
general persecutions, which we have described, two
others, there called the eleventh and the twelfth
persecutions; of which the former is said to have
begun, A. D. 316, under Lucinius, who, together
with Constantine the Great, reigned in the east; and
the second, A. D. 362, under Julian the Apostate.
But since other eminent writers do not pronounce
these persecutions as general ones, we shall give
no special account of them; however, if any true
martyrs were put to death at that time, we hope to
mention each in his proper place. Under Lucinius,
there laid down their lives for the faith in the Son
of God, according to the testimony of the ancients,
the following persons.
