ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

And this same writing of the aforesaid martyrs contains also another account worthy of remembrance, which no one would grudge to add to the knowledge of those who shall read. It is as follows.
For there was a certain Alcibiades, one of them, who lived a very austere life, and at first partook of nothing at all, but used only bread and water, and attempted to continue thus even in the prison. To Attalus, after the first contest which he had accomplished in the amphitheatre, it was revealed that Alcibiades was not doing well in not using the creatures of God and in leaving to others an example of stumbling.
And Alcibiades, being persuaded, partook freely of all things and gave thanks to God. For they were not without the oversight of the grace of God, but the Holy Spirit was their counsellor. And let this much be said concerning this matter.
And as those connected with Montanus and Alcibiades and Theodotus throughout Phrygia were then just for the first time bringing into many minds the opinion concerning prophesying (for very many other wonderful works of the divine gift were still at that time being accomplished in various churches, and gave to many the belief that these men too prophesied), and since there was disagreement concerning the persons mentioned, the brethren throughout Gaul again set forth their own judgement concerning these matters too, pious and most orthodox; and they put forth various letters of the martyrs perfected among them, which, while still in bonds, they had penned to the brethren in Asia and Phrygia, and moreover also to Eleutherus, then bishop of the Romans, acting as ambassadors for the sake of the peace of the churches.
