ON THE HOLY MARTYRS
CYRIL, AQUILA, PETER, DOMITIANA, AND RUFUS.

By G. H.
These five Martyrs we give from a very ancient Martyrology, which we found at Monte Cassino, written in Lombardic character, and which we had transcribed: in which these are found: "On the 4th day before the Kalends of May, the Nativity of the holy Martyrs Cyril, Aquila, Peter, Domitiana, Rufus." We have not hitherto found in any fasti Saint Domitiana the Martyr, nor a similar combination of others. Hence, because of the antiquity of the Martyrology, we propose them. Perhaps there will be someone who will bring light to this, or at least receive it from here.
