Excerpt from The Son of a Star, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance of the Second Century

These form a watchful circuit, every man true to his beat as the path of a sun. As they meet each other on relieving guard they exchange a password which our ear, preter naturally acute, is permitted to catch. The password is Fidelis of Caesarea.'
