In Aegypto passio sanctorum Paphnutii et Sociorum Martyrum. Ipse, vitam in solitudine agens, cum audiret multos Christianos in vinculis retineri, sponte, divino Spiritu concitus, Praefecto se offert, et Christianam religionem libere profitetur; a quo primum catenis ferreis costringitur, et in equuleo diutissime torquetur, deinde cum aliis plurimis ad Diocletianum mittitur, cujus jussu, ipse palmae affigitur, ceteri autem ferro necantur.
