The Apocryphal acts of the Apostles

The Martyrdom. Introduction: The original text of this, as Flamion shows, has to be picked out of several Greek and Latin authorities. Bonnet prints the Martyrdom in several forms (Act. Apost. Apocr. II. 1): on pp. 1-37 we have the Passion in three texts. The uppermost is the Latin letter of the presbyters and deacons of Achaia. This, as Bonnet has proved, is the original of the two Greek versions printed below it. The first editors of this Letter thought it might be a genuine document.
