Abstract
found at Sinope where he is said to have met his brother.There were many Jews in this city at this time and they opposed him in every possible way.They attempted to burn down the house in which he was living, and beating him with clubs and otherwise maltreating him, they cast him out of the city.He was next found at Byzantium (now Constantinople) where he founded a church and ordained Stachys over it, as its first minister.After this, crossing to Europe, he travelled through Thrace, Macedonia, Thessaly, Greece and Epirus, labouring faithfully and zealously wherever he went.At length, after thus spending many years, he came to Patrae, a city of Achaia, in Greece, where, we are informed, he gave his last and sealing testimony and laid down his life, being condemned by Aegeas, the Roman pro-consul, to be crucified.We are further told that Maximilla, a lady of that city, had his body taken down from the cross, embalmed it, and gave it a decent burial.His remains were afterwards removed by Con- stantino the Great to Constantinople, A.D , 357, and deposited in a church he had erected in honour of the apostles.When Constantinople was taken by the Franks, his body it is stated was carried by Cardinal Peter of Capua to Italy, A.D. 12 10, and placed in the Cathedral of Amalfi, in the Gulf of Soranto, where they still remain.Prior, however, to the removal of his body by the Emperor Constantine, we are told that St. Regulus, a Greek Monk, living at Patrae, about the year 307, had a vision, and was told to goto the tomb of St. Andrew and con- vey certain specified relics of the saint to a country in the far west.Setting out, with several companions, he sailed through the Mediterranean Sea, coasting along Spain and France^and reaching the North Sea, he was overtaken by a great storm, and his vessel being driven to the east coast of Scotland was wrecked on the rocks, where St. Andrews now stands.St Regulus and his companions es- caped to land with the precious relics, and there a church was built in which these were deposited.Hungus, King of the Picts, or according to other author- ities, Achaius.King of the Scots, having invaded the territories of Athelstane, King of Northumbria, in the 9th century, was returning home when he was over- taken and attacked by Athelstane, near Hadington.In this emergency he sought the protection of St. Andrew, promising if helped out of the impend- ing danger, he would bestow on the saint the tenth part of his domin- ions.As was naturally to be expected, under the circumstances, St. An- drew sent assistance.Athelstane and most of his followers were slain, and Hungus, on returning to St. Andrews, carried out his vow, and hence, from this time, St. Andrew became the patron saint of Scotland., Whatever truth there may be in the account here given of the life and labours of St Andrew, there can be no doubt but that, at a very early period, the Scots adopted him as their patron saint, and wherever you find a Scotsman -and where will you not ?-when the 30th of November comes round, he recalls with pardonable pride the romantic and glorious memories of the past which are so well fitted to inspire sentiments of love and affection for the glens and the heathery hills of the dear old land.We are sometimes told that sentiment in

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
