[15] Pliny writes: “In the meanwhile, the method I have observed towards those who have been brought before me as Christians is this: I asked them whether they were Christians; if they admitted it, I repeated the question twice, and threatened them with punishment; if they persisted, I ordered them to be at once punished: for I was persuaded, whatever the nature of their opinions might be, a contumacious and inflexible obstinacy certainly deserved correction.... [Others were anonymously charged but] upon examination denied they were Christians, or had ever been so.

Plinio escribe: “Mientras tanto, el método que he mantenido con aquellos que han sido traídos a mí como cristianos es este: Les preguntaba si eran o no cristianos; si lo admitían, yo repetía la pregunta dos veces, y los amenazaba con castigarlos; si ellos insistían, yo ordenaba de una vez su castigo: porque había sido persuadido de que, cualquiera que fuera la naturaleza de su opinión, dicha continua e inflexible obstinación ciertamente merecía corrección... {Otros fueron anónimamente inculpados} tras ser examinados, negaron ser cristianos, o haberlo sido alguna vez.
