Apud Sebasten, in Armenia, natalis sanctorum quadraginta militum Cappadocum, qui, tempore Licinii Imperatoris, sub Prseside Agricolao, post vincula et carceres teterrimos, post caesas lapidibus facies, nudi sub dio, frigidissimo hiemis tempore, supra stagnum rigens pernoctare jussi sunt, ubi gelu constricta eorum corpora disrumpebantur, ac demum crurifragio martyrium consummarunt. Erant autem inter eos nobiliores Cyrion et Candidus; eorumque omnium praeclaras glorias sanctus Basilius aliique Patres scriptis suis celebrarunt. Ipsorum porro Martyrum festivitas sequenti die recolitur.
