Historical martyrology witness · Martyrologium Romanum (Latin historical edition)

Thmui, in Aegypto, passio beati Phileae, ejusdem civitatis Episcopi, et Philoromi, Tribuni militum; qui, in persecutione Diocletiani, cum a cognatis et amicis suaderi non possent ut sibi parcerent, ambo, datis cervicibus, palmas a Domino meruerunt. Cum ipsis innumera etiam multitudo fidelium ex eadem urbe, pastoris sui vestigia sequens, martyrio coronata est.
