        Hadrianus, jussu Maximiáni imperatóris apud Nicomedíam pérsequens Christiános, cum
        sæpius eórum in fidei confessióne et tormentórum perpessióne constantiam demirátus
        esset, veheménter ea re commótus ad Christum sese convértit. Quam ob rem cum aliis
        viginti tribus Christiánis conjéctus est in carcerem; ubi eum visitans Natália uxor,
        quæ et ipsa antea in Christum credíderat, ad martyrium incendit. Itaque, e custódia
        edúctus, tamdiu flagellis cæsus est, donec intestína diffluerent. Postremo, fractis
        crúribus, mánibus pedibúsque præcisis, una cum multis aliis martyrii certamen
        feliciter absolvit.

        Adrian was a man who was employed by the Emperor Maximian to persecute the Christians
        of Nicomedia. The firmness with which they owned their faith and endured their torments
        oftentimes excited his wonder, and at last so powerfully moved him that he himself
        turned to Christ. For this he was thrown into prison along with three-and-twenty other
        Christians. There he was visited by Natalia his wife, who also herself already had
        believed in Christ, and by her urged on to lift up his testimony. When he was brought
        out of prison he was lashed until his bowels fell out. His shins were then broken, and
        his hands and feet cut off, whereafter, in company with many others, he brought to an
        happy end the conflict of martyrdom.
