τοὺς κατὰ Κιλικίαν οὗτοι μέχρι τῶν αὐτόθι μετάλλων ὁμολογητὰς προπέμψαντες ἐπαλινόστουν ἐπὶ τὰ οἰκεῖα· ὁμοίως δῆτα καὶ αὐτοὶπρὸς αὐταῖς εἰσόδοις τῶν κατὰ Καισάρειαν πυλῶν, τίνες τε εἶεν καὶ ὁπόθεν ἀφικνούμενοι πρὸς τῶν φυλάκων βάρβαροι δέ τινες ὑπῆρχον οὗτοι τὸν τρόπον) ἀνερωτηθέντες, καὶ μηδὲν τῆς ἀληθείας ἀποκρυψάμενοι, οἷα κακοῦργοι ἐπ’ αὐτοφώρῳ λη φθέντες συνείχοντο· πέντε δ’ ἦσαν οὗτοι τὸν1
Translation
They had accompanied the confessors in Cilicia to the mines there and were returning to their homes. At the entrance of the gates of Cæsarea, the guards, who were men of barbarous character, questioned them as to who they were and from where they came. They kept back nothing of the truth, and were seized as malefactors taken in the very act. They were five in number.2
