HADRIAN, PIUS, AND MARCUS. 539<br />

indigne ferens uxorem suam ad banc sectam transisse, Christianos crudeliter<br />

tractasset, solusque in praetorio suo vastatus peste convivis vermibus<br />

ebullisset, Nemo sciat, aiebat, lie<br />

gaudeant Christiani aiit spereni<br />

Christiaiiae. Postea cognito errore suo, quod tormentis quosdam a<br />

proposito suo excidere fecisset, paene<br />

Christianus decessit. Caecilius<br />

Capella in illo exitu Byzantine, Christiani gaudete, exclamavit. Sed qui<br />

videntur sibi impune tulisse, venient in diem divini judicii.<br />

The date of this treatise is a.d.<br />

zii.<br />

The persecution under Saturninus proconsul of Africa took place A.D. i8o (see<br />

above, p. 523). The sufferings at Byzantium under Capella have been assigned with<br />

some probability to A.D. 196 (see above, p. 526 sq).<br />

If we suppose the order to be<br />

chronological, CI. L. Herminianus would come between the two, and therefore probably<br />

the incident related of him would fall during the reign of Commodus. The name<br />

Herminianus is written variously in the MSS. It is curious that we meet with two<br />

proconsuls of Africa bearing the name Clodius Hermogenianus about the middle of<br />

the fourth century (see C.I.L. viii. i860).<br />
