125. Justinian. Codex, 1. i. tit. xxvii. [leg. 1];
Marcellin. in Chron. p. 45, in Thesaur. Temporum Scaliger;
Procopius, de Bell. Vandal. l. i. c. 8, p. 196 [ed. Par.;
tom. i. p. 345, ed. Bonn]; Gregor. Magnus, Dialog. iii. 32.
None of these witnesses have specified the number of the
confessors, which is fixed at sixty in an old menology (apud
Ruinart, p. 486). Two of them lost their speech by
fornication; but the miracle is enhanced by the singular
instance of a boy who had 'never' spoken before his tongue
was cut out.
