Those who, having been privately questioned, declared themselves Christians were added to the number of the martyrs.

Those in whom appeared no vestige of faith, and no fear of God, remained without the pale of the Church.

When they were dealing with those who had been reunited to it, one Alexander, a Phrygian by nation, a physician by profession, who had for many years been dwelling in Gaul, a man well known to all for his love of God and open preaching of the faith, took his place in the hall of judgment, exhorting by signs all who filled it to confess their faith, even as if he had been called in to deliver them of it.

The multitude, enraged to see that those who had at first denied, turned round and proclaimed their faith, cried out against Alexander, whom they accused of the conversion.

The governor forthwith asked him what he was, and at the answer, 'I am a Christian,' condemned him to the beasts.
