Chapter LXVII.
Cyprian2482
of Africa, at
first was famous as a teacher of rhetoric, and afterwards on the
persuasion of the presbyter Caecilius, from whom he received his
surname, he became a Christian, and gave all his substance to the poor.
Not long after he was inducted into the presbytery, and was also made
bishop of Carthage. It is unnecessary to make a catalogue of the works
of his genius, since they are more conspicuous than the sun.
He was put to death under the
Emperors Valerian and Gallienus, in the eighth persecution, on the same
day that Cornelius was put to death at Rome, but not in the same
year. E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
