Parthenius, Martyr at Thessalonica (Saint)

Dionysius, Martyr at Thessalonica (Saint)

Panterus, Martyr at Thessalonica (Saint)

Alexander, Martyr at Thessalonica (Saint)

G. H.

This is the third class of Martyrs in the ancient copies of the Martyrology of Saint Jerome: with which another manuscript of the Duke of Altemps agrees, and the Martyrs are thus mentioned: "At Thessalonica; of Ingeniana, Saturninus, Parthenius, Dionysius, Panterus, Alexander." The two first are referred to in the Reichenau manuscript; but all six in the Bellinian Martyrology, published in an enlarged edition at Paris in 1521. There is some diversity in the writing. Ingeniana is found in the fourth place, which is also written Ingenua and Ingenianus. Parthenius is also called Partemus, Partinus, and Paternus; and for Panterus is also found Pantenus. Alexander is joined to the following class in the Cassinensis manuscript. In the Vatican manuscript, for Dionysius, Dominus seems to be read, and to him is joined Victor, who again is in the following class. Alexander in the Cassinensis manuscript is joined to other Martyrs: the memory of Saints Dionysius and Stephen Martyrs is inscribed in the Calendars of the ancient Ambrosian Missal and Breviary among the Milanese. But Stephen belongs to the following class.

Support the Translation

The Acta Sanctorum has never been available in English. This site is translating all of it: January through July are done, August is underway, and the calendar runs to November 10, where the Bollandists stopped in 1940. The scholarship pipeline is built; what remains is a compute bill. Contributions go directly to translating more of the calendar.

The Acta was a funded enterprise for three centuries; the translation runs the same way. Everything here is free and stays free whether you give or not. Wroot Press is a small independent press — an imprint of Wroot Labs LLC, not a charity. Contributions aren't tax-deductible; they buy compute.
