ON SS. EUTHYMIA, LEONIDES, VINDEUS, MARIUS,

MARTYRS AT ANTIOCH IN SYRIA.

Commentary

Euthymia, Martyr at Antioch in Syria (St.)

Leonides, Martyr at Antioch in Syria (St.)

Vindeus, Martyr at Antioch in Syria (St.)

Marius, Martyr at Antioch in Syria (St.)

G. H.

Already in the preceding, the most ancient copy of the Hieronymian Martyrology mentioned presents these Martyrs, but as if distinct, in this way: "At Antioch of Euthymia." Then these are inserted: "And at Rome of Primitivus, Aurelius," of whom we have already treated, and then is added: "Likewise at Antioch of Leonides, Vindeus." Whom we report together under the same title. The last two are indicated in three other copies of the Hieronymian Martyrology: likewise in the Rheinau and Reichenau manuscripts, and with the Syrian city Antioch expressed, in the Aachen, Augsburg, and Labbe manuscripts. In the ancient manuscript Calendar before the works of St. Isidore, the memory of St. Leo is celebrated at Antioch, which is better, with others, in the Trier manuscript of St. Maximinus, and in Greven's Supplement to Usuard, Leonides: and so the one who in this Supplement is added as Guideus, in others is Vindecus. The fourth, Marius, is added in the Corbie manuscript of the Hieronymian Martyrology printed at Paris.

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.
