00:00 Epistle LXXVI.
Cyprian to Nemesianus and Other Martyrs in the Mines.
He Extols with Wonderful Commendations the Martyrs in the Mines, Opposing, in a Beautiful Antithesis, to the Tortures of Each, the Consolations of Each.
17:15 Epistle LXXVII.
The Reply of Nemesianus, Dativus, Felix, and Victor, to Cyprian.
This Epistle and the Two Following Contain Nothing Else Than Replies to the Foregoing, Inasmuch as They Contain The Thanksgiving as Well for the Comfort Conveyed by the Letter as for the Assistance Sent Therewith. But from the Fact that Three Distinct Letters are Sent in Reply to the Single One of Cyprian’s, We are to Gather that the Bishops Who Wrote Them Were Placed in Different Departments of the Mines.
22:25 Epistle LXXVIII.
The Reply to the Same of Lucius and the Rest of the Martyrs.
The Argument of the Present Letter Is, in Substance, the Same as that of the Preceding; And Therefore It is Not a Letter of Lucius the Roman Bishop, But of Lucius the African Bishop and Martyr.
26:45 Epistle LXXIX.
The Answer of Felix, Jader, Polianus, and the Rest of the Martyrs, to Cyprian.
The Martyrs Above Spoken of Acknowledge with Gratitude the Assistance Sent to Them by Cyprian.
29:00 Epistle LXXX.
Cyprian to Sergius, Rogatianus, and the Other Confessors in Prison.
He Consoles Rogatianus and His Colleagues, the Confessors in Prison, and Gives Them Courage by the Example of the Martyrs Rogatianus the Elder and Felicissimus. The Letter Itself Indicates that It Was Written in Exile.
39:44 Epistle LXXXI.
To Successus on the Tidings Brought from Rome, Telling of the Persecution.
Cyprian Tells the Bishop Successus, that in a Severe Persecution that Had Been Decreed by the Emperor Valerian Xistus the Bishop Had Suffered at Rome on the Eighth of the Ides of August; And He Begs Him to Intimate the Same to the Rest of His Colleagues, that Each One Might Animate His Own Flock to Martyrdom.
43:11
Epistle LXXXII.
To the Clergy and People Concerning His Retirement, a Little Before His Martyrdom.
When, Near the End of His Life, Cyprian, on Returning to His Gardens, Was Told that Messengers Were Sent to Take Him for Punishment to Utica, He Withdrew. And Lest It Should Be Thought that He Had Done So from Fear of Death, He Gives the Reason in This Letter, Viz., that He Might Undergo His Martyrdom Nowhere Else Than at Carthage, in the Sight of His Own People. a.d. 258.
