Besides the aforementioned martyrs who were
put to death in this persecution, certain other
authors have noted various other pious witnesses of
Jesus Christ, who, loving the honor of God more
than their own lives, were put to death at that time,
and under that same Emperor; which we shall
presently relate. Besides the three hundred Christians
whom P. J. Twisck places in the year 264,
as having been burned in a lime-kiln, because they
would not throw incense on the coals, for a sacrifice
in honor of Jupiter, as may be seen in the 3d book,
page 75, col. 1, from Histor. Adr., fol. 30, several
names are mentioned, as, Philip, bishop of the
church at Alexandria, who was put to death with
the sword in this persecution, for the testimony of
Jesus Christ. J. Gys., fol. 21, col. 2, from Vinc.
Spec. Hist., lib. 11, cap. 23. Henr. d’Oxf., lib. 6,
cap. 21. Also, Florentin and Pontius, pious men,
are stated to have been put to death in France, for
the name of the Lord, together with others, who
are also mentioned. Introduction, fol. 41, col. 2,
Seb. Franck, fol. 22, col. 4.
