  3. ↑ "At Rome, on the Salarian road, the passion of St. Apronian, a notary. Whilst he was yet a Gentile, and was leading St. Sisinius out of prison, to present him before the governor Laodicius, he heard a voice from heaven saying, "Come ye, the blessed of my Father, possess the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world." At once he believed, was baptized, and after confessing our Lord, received sentence of death."[6]
  4. ↑ Sent by St Gregory the Great to England, St Augustine sent him back to Rome to report on the English mission and to bring more help.
