Metran
Martyrological notice
At Alexandria, the birth-day of St. Metran, martyr, who under Decius the emperor, refusing to utter certain blasphemous words, had by the Pagans his body all bruised with cudgels, and his face and eyes pierced with sharp reeds, and after many like torments being thrust out of the city, was finally stoned to death.

Alexandriae natalis sancti Metrani Martyris, qui, sub Decio Imperatore, cum ad jussionem Paganorum nollet impia verba proferre, hi totum ejus corpus fustibus colliserunt, vultumque et oculos praeacutis calamis terebrantes, cum cruciatibus expulerunt ipsum extra urbem, ibique lapidibus oppressum interemerunt.
