Persecution of Christians under Theotekness and Emperor Maximinus

The chapter narrates how Theotekness initiated severe persecutions against Christians through various means, including inciting hatred with false accusations, fabricating acts of blasphemy against Christ, and compelling women to falsely incriminate Christians. It also details the martyrdom of bishops and presbyters like Bishop Sylvanus, Bishop Peter, and Presbyter Lucian during Emperor Maximinus' reign, as well as the divine retribution that followed Maximinus for his persecution of Christians.
