Source

For the manuscript tradition, see: http://pinakes.irht.cnrs.fr/notices/oeuvre/17071/ To the best of our knowledge there exists no edition of BHG 1239 (probably a typical late antique 'epic' Martyrdom, judging by the style of the extract quoted in Delehaye 1906, 497). However, the contents of the narrative may be accessed in what is clearly a later, probably medieval, redaction BHG 1240 (pace Sharankov 2018), for which see Bibliography.
