| ID | Title | E03227 | The Latin Martyrdom of *Hyacinthus (deacon, perhaps martyr of Portus, near Rome, S01557, or martyr of the Sabina, S01556) narrates Hyacinthus' trial and miraculously endured punishments; his persecutor Luxurius’ death, struck by a snake; Hyacinthus’ death by the sword and burial by the matron Iulia on her estate where favours abound.
