Caesareae, in Palaestina, natalis sancti Apphiani Martyris, qui, ante sanctum Aedesium Martyrem, fratrem suum, in persecutione Galerii Maximiani, cum Praesidem Urbanum idolis immolantem arguisset, saeve dilaniatus est, et, pedibus lino in oleum intincto eoque incenso obvolutis, acerbissime cruciatus, ac demum in mare demersus; atque ita, transiens per ignem et aquam, eductus est in refrigerium.
