Milestones / datatype for Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicitatis

Vincent van Altena

I am preparing personal book which contains the Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicitatis. Since I would like to use this resource in conjunction with other texts, I am looking for the proper milestone syntax and datatype.

Until now I have only found [[@Tertullian:Tertullian, The Passion of the Holy Martyrs Perpetua and Felicitas 1.1]] as milestone reference. This neatly alligns my text with the version of Tertullian, but it does not have anything to do with the reference system applied in for instance Musurillo (1972) or Bremmer (1988), which I expect to be the more scholarly one.

Does anyone know whether there exists an alternative datatype for Pass. Perp. Fel. which complies with Musurillo?

- Musurillo, Herbert A., ed. The Acts of the Christian Martyrs. Vol. 2 of Oxford Early Christian Texts. Oxford: Clarendon, 1972.


- Bremmer, Jan N., and J. Boeft den, eds. Martelaren van de oude kerk: bewaarde documenten van de christenvervolging tot circa 300 na Christus. Na de schriften 4. Kampen: Kok, 1988.

Judging from the fact that there are no milestones attached to the resource in Roberts, Alexander, James Donaldson, and A. Cleveland Coxe, eds. Fathers of the Third and Fourth Centuries: The Twelve Patriarchs, Excerpts and Epistles, the Clementina, Apocrypha, Decretals, Memoirs of Edessa and Syriac Documents, Remains of the First Ages. Vol. 8. The Ante-Nicene Fathers. Buffalo, NY: Christian Literature Company, 1886. I suspect this is a case where FL cut corners and did not assign milestones.
