Why this is in the register
No English translation was located. Musurillo's Acts of the Christian Martyrs (1972) does not include Typasius in its contents list, which covers Maximilian, Marcellus, Julius the Veteran, Dasius and Irenaeus of Sirmium but no Typasius. The text is translated into French, with facing Latin, in Actes et passions des martyrs militaires africains (Paris: Cerf, 2020). HOLLIS returns no English item for the martyr or the passio.
The longest and most circumstantial of the African military passions: a veteran who becomes a monk, is recalled to service, refuses, and is executed after a sequence of hearings that preserves ordinary spoken Latin. It is the closest Latin parallel to Tertullian's De corona, the tract that first framed the problem of the Christian soldier, and it is unavailable in English.
