ON SAINT GRATUS AND SIX OTHER
MARTYRS IN AFRICA.
HISTORICAL COMMENTARY.
Gratus, Martyr in Africa (St.)
Six others, Martyrs, in Africa (Sts.)
G. H.
This is the third class of Martyrs in the copies of the Hieronymian Martyrology, to which agree Grevenus in the Appendix to Usuard, and the Reichenau and Trier of Saint Maximin manuscripts, with these words or nearly so: "In Africa, of Saint Gratus and six others." In one is added "Martyrs," and it is written "Gractus." Gratus is mentioned without companions and with the place omitted in the Aachen manuscript; and "Gradus" in the Augsburg and Labbeus manuscripts. In the Prague manuscript Gratus is noted with three others.
