At the command of the Emperor, Hadrian, they were arrested by the Governor, Licinius, and, first of all, scourged, then cast into prison, and, lastly, delivered to the flames: But, since they were in no wise hurt thereby, they fulfilled their Martyrdom by their heads being broken with sticks. Symphorosa, the wife of blessed Getulius, gathered up their bodies and buried them with honour in a sandpit in her villa.
