of the Christian evil of Lucius (St. Lucius) |

and the inhabitants |
12. |
even many Roman soldiers |

the Christian Sadducee army of Lucius (St. Lucius) |

Lucius upon hearing from tortured prisoners |
33. |

34. |
did order his militia to Cyprus |
35. |
Upon seeing the approaching fleet of Lucius |
36. |
Valentinus and his disciples |

escaped by boat and made their way |
38. |
first to Greece and then |

Lucius (St. Lucius) |

47. |
and the children sacrificed |
48. |
by being thrown upon fires |
49. |
in honor of the demon gods of |
50. |
the Sadducee Christians |
51. |
so that within less than two weeks |

to send word to |
66. |
to the Sadducee christian strongholds |
67. |
in Turkey and Mesopotamia |
68. |
to rise up and fight for their king |
69. |
Julian did meet with the leader Ignatius of Antioch |
70. |
of the Sadducees Christians of the region |
71. |
who sent his son with Julian whose name was Papias |

79. |
In the cities of Nisbis in Turkey |
80. |
in Osroene in Edessa |
81. |
and even Selecia on the Tigris |
82. |
The Sadducee communities rallied |
83. |
all Jews and christians |
84. |
against the Romans |
85. |
Believing the stories |
86. |
that Lucius was the Messiah |

to Judea |
97. |
where he was caught by Turbo |
98. |
and Lucius along with Ignatius of Antioch |

while the last remaining Sadducee christians and Jews |
101. |
held out at Lydda |
102. |
until 118 when Julian was executed |
