We write to you, brethren, the story of the[*] martyrs and of the blessed Polycarp, who put an ductlon end to the persecution by his martyrdom as though adding the seal.[*] For one might almost say that all that had gone before happened in order that the Lord might show to us from above a martyrdom[*] in accordance with the Gospel.
