ON SAINTS QUINTIANUS AND ATTICUS,

MARTYRS AMONG THE GREEKS.

HISTORICAL COMMENTARY.

Quintianus, Martyr among the Greeks (St.)

Atticus, Martyr among the Greeks (St.)

G. H.

The memory of these Martyrs is found in the Paris manuscripts of Cardinal Mazarin and of the College of Clermont of the Society of Jesus, indicated with only these words: "And the contest of the holy Martyrs Quintianus and Atticus." The same, with their names written somewhat differently, are referred to in the manuscript Menaea of Milan of the Ambrosian library and of Turin of the Duke of Savoy, in which the memory of Saint Quantanus or Cantanus and Taticus is inscribed: and everywhere they are noted after Saint Auxibius, of whom we treated among those passed over.
