ON THE HOLY MARTYRS HERMOGENES AND DIONYSIUS.
CommentaryHermogenes, Martyr (Saint) Dionysius, Martyr (Saint)
G. H.
After the two Martyrs who suffered at Salona, in the most ancient Martyrology of Saint Jerome, which we had from the Epternach books, there is added: "And elsewhere of Hermogenes," but by contraction in the Lucca and Blumian Manuscripts "Hermonis." A companion is given to him in the Corbie Manuscript printed at Paris, in these words: "And elsewhere of Hermogenes and Dionysius." Hermogenes is also referred in the Tallaght Manuscript. We have not read more about them on this day. On April 17 Saint Hermogenes the Martyr is venerated, a minister of Saint Peter the Deacon, crowned with him at Antioch. Again on April 19 Saint Hermogenes is referred with many others who suffered in Armenia, from whom the Hermogenes referred on this day may be different.
