# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for Ss. Tryphon, Respicius, and Nympha,
# Martyrs (Nov 10) — pre-1955-but-post-1617. Plain Sancti/11-10.txt is a
# different, later saint (St. Andrew Avellino, canonized 1712) who

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.
