SS. Akindynos, Victor, and others, were martyrs at Nikomedeia under
Diocletian: AA SS 20th April p. 747. They seem not to be mentioned
in any of the earlier martyrologies. This inscr. is late, and cannot be
quoted as a proof of the early spread of the fame of Akindynos even
in the fourth or fifth centuries2.

The curse in (B) seems to be directed against certain persons specified
in the lost exordium, brothers of Amerimnos : if any of them buries any
other person (besides certain specified individuals), may he receive an
unexpected stroke, such as their brother Amerimnos suffered.
The name Amerimnos is a remarkable one. It is not in accordance
with the native nomenclature of Phrygia, and does not resemble the
Greek style of meaning. One would readily incline to think that it
has a Christian origin, and that it was a baptismal name given to Titedios
when he became a Christian. It marks him as the man who ' takes
no thought for the morrow' (Matth. vi. 34 p.i\ ovv p.epip.vr\o-r\Te els r?;y
