Treat this as a gap candidate, not as proof that no translation exists; the evidence names every source checked.

Why this is in the register

No English translation was located. The act is not among the texts translated in Musurillo's Acts of the Christian Martyrs (1972). It is one of the five texts edited with Latin and translated into French in Actes et passions des martyrs militaires africains (Paris: Cerf, 2020), whose contents list names it as 'Passion de saint Fabius le porte-enseigne'. No English-language edition or translation appears in HOLLIS.

A standard-bearer of a Mauretanian unit, executed for refusing military service; short, but the only surviving narrative for the persecution in Caesarea Mauretaniae. Read with the Typasius and Cassianus acts, it shows a single legal pattern applied across the African provinces, which no English reader can currently trace.
