Title Acta Alexandrinorum
Author Unknown
Summary Fragments of the Acts of the Alexandrian (pagan) martyrs, concerning some injustices committed presumably in Alexandria, towards Alexandrians; there are references to the Jewish-Greek relations, to violence towards young boys (epheboi), to attacks by the soldiery, to a woman pleading for her young son or for her own life, to death and mourning(?) and perhaps to the prefect of Egypt of 103-107 A.D., Gaius Vibius Maximus
