A different abridgment of the story as given by Surius, is to be found in Ribadeneyra’s “Flos Sanctorum” (the edition before me being that of Barcelona, 1790, t. 3. p. 304).  It concludes with the same list of authorities, which, however, is given with more precision.  The old English translation by W. P. Esq., second edition:  London, 1730, p. 369, gives them thus: 

“Surius in his fifth tome, and Cardinal Baronius in his ’Annotations upon the Martyrologies’, and in the second tome of his Annals, and St. Gregory of Tours in his ‘Book of the Glory of the Martyrs’, make mention of the Saints Chrysanthus and Daria”.

The following is taken from Caxton’s Golden Legende, or translation of the Legenda Aurea of Jacobus de Voragine.  I have transcribed from the following edition, which is thus described in the Colophon: 

“The legende named in latyn Legenda Aurea, that is to say in englyshe the golden legende, For lyke as golde passeth all other metalles, so this boke excedeth all other bokes”.  “Finyshed the xxvii daye of August, the yere of our lord M. CCCCC.  XXVII, the xix yere of the regne of our souverayne lord Kynge Henry the eyght.  Imprynted at London in Flete Strete at the Sygne of the Sonne by Wynkyn de Worde”.

In the following extract the spelling is somewhat modernised, and a few obsolete words are omitted.

“The Life of Saynt Crysant and Saynte Daria”. 
    Fo. cc. lxxxv.

“Here followeth the lyfe of Saynt Crysaunt, and fyrst of his name.  And of Saynte Daria, and of her name.

“Of Crysaunt is said as growen and multyplyed of God.  For when his father would have made hym do sacrifyce to the idols, God gave to hym force and power to contrary and gaynsay his father, and yield himself to God.  Daria is sayd of dare to give, for she gave her to two thynges.  Fyrst will to do evil, when she had will to draw Crysaunt to sacrifyce to the idols.  And after she gave her to good will when Crysaunt had converted her to Almighty God.

“Crysaunt was son of a ryght noble man that was named Polymne.  And when his father saw that his son was taught in the faith of Jesu Chryst, and that he could not withdraw him therefrom, and make him do sacrifyce to the idols, he commanded that he should be closed in a stronge hold and put to hym five maidens for to seduce him with blandyshynge and fayre wordes.  And when he had prayed God that he should not be surmounted with no fleshly desyre, anon these maydens were so overcome with slepe, that they myght not take neither meat ne drinke as long as they were there, but as soon as they were out, they took both meat and drinke.  And one Daria, a noble and wise virgin of the goddess Vesta, arrayed her nobly with clothes as she had been a goddess, and prayed that she myght be letten enter in to Crysant and that she would restore him to the idols and to his father.  And when she was come in, Crysant reproved her of the pride of her vesture.  And
