 ''Pliny the Younger, Letters, 10:96-97.''  The Governor of Bithynia (now north-western Turkey) writing to the Emperor Trajan, about 111 AD.  Translated as a footnote to The Church History of Eusebius III:33 at page 165 in NPNF201, that is, [https://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf201.html Schaff P and Wallace A (1890) ''Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, 2nd Series, Vol 1'', at Christian Classics Ethereal Library.]  [Emphasis mine.]
-: Meanwhile, with those who have been brought before me as Christians I have pursued the following course. I have asked them if they were Christians, and if they have confessed, I have asked them a second and third time, threatening them with punishment; if they have persisted, I have commanded them to be led away to punishment.... Moreover, they affirmed that this was the sum of their guilt or error; that they had been accustomed to come together on a fixed day before daylight and <b>to sing responsively a song unto Christ as God</b>; and to bind themselves with an oath, not with a view to the commission of some crime, but, on the contrary, that they would not commit theft, nor robbery, nor adultery, that they would not break faith, nor refuse to restore a deposit when asked for it.... For the contagion of this superstition has permeated not only the cities, but also the villages and even the country districts. Yet it can apparently be arrested and corrected. At any rate, it is certainly a fact that the [pagan] temples, which were almost deserted, are now beginning to be frequented....
