People who were falsely accused of being Christians, wrote Pliny, would repeat an invocation to the gods and worship the statue of Trajan, just to prove that they were not Christians.
Plinius kirjutas, et inimesed, kellele esitati valesüüdistus, nagu oleksid nad kristlased, kordasid jumalatele esitatavat palvehüüet ja kummardasid Traianuse kuju, tõestamaks, et nad pole kristlased.
