Sebaste, in Armenia, passio sancti Blasii, Episcopi et Martyris; qui, multorum patrator miraculorum, sub Agricolao Praeside, post diutinam caesionem, atque in ligno suspensionem, ubi ferreis pectinibus carnes ejus diruptae sunt, post teterrimum carcerem et in lacum demersionem, unde salvus exivit, tandem, jubente eodem Judice, una cum duobus pueris, capite truncatur. Ante ipsum vero septem mulieres, quae guttas sanguinis, ex ejusdem Martyris corpore defluentes, dum torqueretur, colligebant, propterea, deprehensae quod essent Christianae, omnes, post dira tormenta, gladio percussae sunt.
