Note 182 — Chapter XXIII · THE FIGHT.
Reading edition
The martyr Saturus, torn by a leopard, and about to die, addressed the soldier Pudens, not yet a Christian, in words of exhortation; then asked him for the ring on his finger, dipped it in his own blood, and gave it back, “leaving him the inheritance of the pledge, and the memorial of his blood.” Ap. Ruinart, vol. i. p. 223.
