On the twentieth day of the month is the feast of the noble martyr St Sebastian, whom the emperor Diocletian (he was a heathen) ordered shot with arrows, so that he was as full of them as the wild animal, the hedgehog, is of bristles, and (yet) he might not kill him in that manner. Then he ordered that he be beaten with cudgels until he gave up his spirit; and his body was buried at Rome in the place called the catacombs.
