And he, while tormented, said, O period good and holy, in which, for the sake of religion, we brothers have been called to the contest of pain, and have not been conquered.
Greek · Brenton
Ὁ δὲ βασανιζόμενος, ὦ ἱεροπρεποῦς αἰῶνος, ἔλεγεν, ἐφʼ ὃν διὰ τὴν εὐσέβειαν εἰς γυμνασίαν πόνων ἀδελφοὶ τοσοῦτοι κληθέντες οὐκ ἐνικήθημεν.
