It is stated that Ptolomeus was a pious and godfearing
man, who had converted his wife from the
blindness of heathendom to the faith. He was apprehended
for the truth of Christ. Asked, whether he
was a Christian, he, as a lover of the truth, immediately
confessed that he was. After this confession,
he was cast into prison, in which he suffered so long
as to become completely emaciated. Finally he was
delivered to the judge Urbicius, who shortly afterwards
had him put to death; and thus Ptolomeus
became a faithful martyr of Jesus Christ. Compare
