Testimonium Mauritii et Legionis Thebaicae per Acta VMDCLXVI Martyrum pro Veritate contra Apostasiam

Legio Thebaica legio ex oriente erat. Maximianus Herculius bellum contra Gallos gessit. Legio Thebaica dualis decimabatur et postea cuncti milites mortificabantur quia idolibus non sacrificabant. Id erat apud Acaunum et in soloduro. Sancti ex legione thebaica sunt per exemplum: Ursus Solodurensis, Sanctus Victor, Sanctus Felix, Sancta Regula, Sanctus Mauritius.

The Theban Legion figures in Christian hagiography as a Roman legion from Egypt—"six thousand six hundred and sixty-six men"—who converted en masse to Christianity and were martyred together in 286, according to the hagiographies of Saint Maurice, the chief among the Legion's saints.
