Assemblies of any kind were prohibited by the new governor; but the law of Aelius Marcianus allowed gatherings for religious purposes, and the learned lawyer, Johannes, directed his fellow-Christians to rely on that.

One was Avitus, the child of Soæmias and Varius Marcellus, a man of the same race, he was from Apamea, who had been occupied in procuratorships, had been enrolled in the senate, and soon after died.
