Century of containing source section; exact event date not assigned

This persecution caused an unexpected and terrible
pestilence, which devastated countries and inhabitants,
especially Italy, so that the Christians
were forgotten; for there were villages that had
been ravaged to such an extent, that they became
entirely depopulated, and lay there waste and without
inhabitants. Keyser’s Chronijk, van Christi
Geboorte tot op Carolus V., printed A. D. 1563,
fol. 17, col. 1, for the year of the beginning of this
persecution, 164.

Likewise, that besides the preceding martyrs
whom we have mentioned by name, there were also
put to death, during the preceding persecutions,
the two pious men Sagaris and Thraseas, together
with other believing Christians, is shown from
Eusebius Pamphilius, by A. Mellinus, in the first
book of his history, fol. 42, col. 2.
