Without question Medonius would have particularly pointed out the manuscript to which he stood indebted for so great a treasure, could he have attributed to it any authority himself. That the edict of Decius was more inhuman and iniquitous than any that had ever been issued in preceding times, not excepting even the rescript of Trajan, there can be no doubt. Dionysius of Alexandria (apud Euseb. Hist. Eccles. lib. vi....
