Peter, Faustus, Didius, and Ammonius, in the Year 310

At this time, by virtue of the bloody decree of Maximian, a number of God-fearing and learned men were persecuted, men who held to Christ by a true confession; of these we shall briefly present a few, mentioning also the place and time of their death. Peter, bishop of the church of Christ at Alexandria, and Faustus, Didius, and Ammonius, all three elders, were put to death for the faith in Jesus Christ, on the 28th day of November in the year 310. There were also several other bishops in Egypt who laid down their lives for the same reason. Compare J. Gys., folio 27, column 1, with A. Mell., 1st book, folio 136, column 4, from Eusebius, Epiphanius, Athanasius. [n280-1]
