在德西乌斯在位期间，所有这些人都为基督的缘故而遭受磨难，并得到了荣耀的冠冕。在皇帝的命令下，非洲的行政长官向人们宣布，所有的人都要向偶像献祭，违抗者将要受到刑罚。听到这些威胁之后，很多人都放弃了信仰，开始敬拜偶像。不管怎样，这40名殉道者仍然坚守信仰，由此遭受了酷刑。圣特伦蒂乌斯鼓励他的同伴说：“兄弟们，我们要坚守信仰，不能否认我们的主基督，否则在天父和圣天使面前他也不会认我们。”行政长官将他们分成两个小组。其中的36人在经受鞭打、割刮皮肉并在他们的伤口上浇灌盐水后都被斩首。特伦蒂乌斯、阿弗里卡努斯、玛尔克西姆斯、庞皮里乌斯这四人被沉重的铁链捆绑住颈部、头和脚，被投入到监狱中。上帝的天使在监狱中向他们显现，轻轻碰了铁链，铁链立即自行脱落了。之后，天使为他们准备了一个丰盛的桌子，为他们提供饮食。之后，他们又被带出来经受鞭打，而后又被投入到监狱中。之后，行政长官命令巫术师收集一大堆毒蛇和蝎子等，然后仍到他们所在的监狱中。这些毒物并没有触伤这些上帝拣选的人，而是蜷在角落里，这样呆了三天的时间。第三天，当监狱的门被打开时，这些毒蛇和蝎子冲了出去，咬伤了那些巫术师。最后，行政长官宣布判处这四人死刑。当他们被带到刑场上进行斩首时他们愉快地高唱赞美诗赞美上帝，上帝为他们荣耀殉道而赐给他们福分。这些圣人于公元250年荣耀殉道，得以进入上帝荣耀的国度。
