Further to Processus and Martinian:
In that earlier post's notice of these saints, add after the view of their portrayal (at lower right, drinking from the water that St. Peter has caused to flow and so being baptized) on an earlier fourth-century sarcophagus in the Bode Museum in Berlin this similar example (Processus and Martinian again at lower right) on an also earlier fourth-century sarcophagus in the Museo Arqueológico in Córdoba:

In the same notice, add after the view of their portrayal (at lower left) of their drinking the water and so being baptized on the earlier fourth-century Sarcophagus of Marcus Claudianus in the Museo Nazionale Romano (Museo delle Terme) these detail views of them so portrayed on earlier fourth-century sarcophagi and on an earlier fourth-century sarcophagus fragment, all in the Musei Vaticani's Museo Pio Clementino (inv. nos. 31508, 31431, 31532):

and this view of Peter (lower register, at left) showing the water to Processus and Martinian and (lower register, starting at center) reading to -- presumably, instructing -- one of them while the other looks on through a tree (the Tree of Life?) that he is grasping as portrayed on yet another earlier fourth-century sarcophagus in the Museo Pio Clementino (inv. no. 31543):

In the same notice, the links to illuminations in manuscripts at the BnF in Paris still work but the image server there is not co-operating.
