Cypriánus, primum magus, póstea Martyr, cum Justínam, christiánam Vírginem, quam júvenis
|
|
quidam ardénter amábat, cantiónibus ac venefíciis ad ejus libídinis assénsum allícere
|
|
conarétur, dæmonem consúluit quanam id re cónsequi posset. Cui dæmon respóndit nullam illi
|
|
artem processúram advérsus eos, qui vere Christum cólerent. Quo respónso commótus Cypriánus,
|
|
veheménter dolére cœpit vitæ superióris institútum. Itaque, relíctis mágicis ártibus, se
|
|
totum ad Christi Dómini fidem convértit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Quam ob causam una cum Vírgine Justína comprehénsus est, et ambo cólaphis flagellísque cæsi
|
|
sunt; mox in cárcerem conjécti, si forte senténtiam commutárent. Verum, inde póstea emíssi,
|
|
cum in christiána religióne constantíssimi reperiréntur, in sartáginem plenam fervéntis
|
|
picis, ádipis et ceræ injécti sunt. Demum Nicomedíæ secúri feriúntur. Quorum projécta córpora
|
|
cum sex dies inhumáta jacuíssent noctu quidam nautæ clam ea in navem impósita Romam
|
|
portavérunt. Ac primum in prædio Rufínæ nóbilis féminæ sepúlta sunt; póstea, transláta in
|
|
Urbem, in basílica Constantiniána cóndita sunt prope baptistérium.

Cyprian was firstly a warlock and lastly a Martyr. A certain young man having a violent lust
|
|
after a Christian maiden named Justina, employed him to excite her to join in this lewdness,
|
|
by dint of incantations and philters. Cyprian thereupon asked counsel of the devil, how he
|
|
might best gain that end. But the devil answered him that these arts are only thrown away
|
|
upon true worshippers of Christ. This answer troubled Cyprian, and he began to repent
|
|
heartily of the course of life he had hitherto led. And then he forsook his arts magic, and
|
|
gave himself wholly up to the faith of the Lord Christ.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For this cause, he and the Virgin Justina were arrested together, beaten with blows and
|
|
scourging, and cast into prison, if haply they might change their mind. Being brought out of
|
|
the prison, but still standing fast in their Christian religion, they were dipped in a vessel
|
|
full of hot pitch, fat, and wax, and in the end beheaded, at Nicomedia. Their bodies were
|
|
thrown out, and lay unburied for the space of six days, at the end of which time some sailors
|
|
took them secretly by night on board a ship and carried them to Rome. They were first buried
|
|
on the farm of the noble Lady Rufina, but afterwards brought into the city, where they lie
|
|
hard by the Baptistery in the Church of Constantine.
