No English translation was located. Herbert Musurillo's standard corpus, The Acts of the Christian Martyrs (Oxford, 1972), prints Maximilian and Marcellus but its contents list does not include Cassianus. The five African military martyr acts, including this one, were edited with facing Latin and translated into French in Actes et passions des martyrs militaires africains (Paris: Cerf, 2020), the only modern translation of the text found in HOLLIS. No English edition or translation appears in HOLLIS under the martyr's name.
A courtroom transcript of a military clerk executed at Tingis for refusing to renounce his faith during the purge of Christians from the army that preceded the Great Persecution. It is documentary evidence for how the Diocletianic persecution began in the African provinces, and for the legal procedure used against soldiers - material that English readers can currently get only second-hand from Musurillo's Marcellus, where Cassian is a bystander.
