        Tryphon, Decio imperatóre, cum Jesu Christi fidem prædicans, omnes ad ejus cultum perducere
        conarétur, a Decii satellítibus comprehénsus, primum equuleo torquétur et ungulis férreis
        excarnificátur; deínde, sublimibus pédibus candéntibus clavis confíxus, fustibus cæditur, et,
        admotis facibus ardéntibus, aduritur. Quæ cum ómnia fortiter ferentem vidísset Respicius
        tribunus, ad Christi Dómini fidem convérsus, statim se christianum esse palam proféssus est.
        Qui, varie cruciatus, una cum Tryphone rapitur ad Jovis simulacrum; quæ statua, Tryphone
        orante, cóncidit. Quare plumbátis crudelíssime contúsi, nobilíssimum martyrium consecúti sunt
        quarto Idus Novembris. Eodem die virgo quædam, cui nomen Nympha, cum Jesum Christum verum
        esse Deum clara voce testarétur, martyrii palmam ad virginitátis corónam adjunxit.

        In the reign of the Emperor Decius one Tryphon strove by preaching the faith of Jesus Christ
        to bring all men to worship Him. For this cause he was taken by the servants of Decius. He
        was first tormented upon the rack, and flesh stripped from him with iron claws; then red-hot
        nails were driven into his insteps, he was beaten with cudgels and scarified with lighted
        torches. The sight of the courage wherewith he bore all, brought the Prefect Respicius to
        believe in the Lord Christ, and he forthwith declared himself a Christian. He also was
        diverse ways tormented, and then led along with Tryphon before the statue of Jupiter. When
        Tryphon prayed, the statue fell down. Then were both Tryphon and Respicius savagely lashed
        with whips loaded with lead, until they grasped the crown of a most glorious testimony, upon
        the 10th day of November. Upon the same day a certain maiden named Nympha, having openly
        confessed that Jesus Christ is very God, added the palm of martyrdom to the crown of
        virginity.
