S. Justinus philosophus et martyr, Apologia II pro Christianis (Ἀπολογία δευτέρα ὑπὲρ Χριστιανῶν)

Justin's shorter apology, written at rome after the prefect urbicus put christians to death for the name alone: why christians do not take their own lives, the demons behind the persecution, the seeds of the word in the philosophers, and justin's expectation of being denounced by the cynic crescens, in Greek, with the editors' notes (Migne, PG 6). The text was first read by Gemini (a machine reader); the Reading Room checked a sample of its columns against the page.
