Three other Martyrs, of uncertain place

J. B. S.

This class of eleven Martyrs expressed by name, with three anonymous ones, the Epternach codex on this day wrongly attributes to Aquileia with Felix and Fortunata, whereas all the rest clearly express "elsewhere," no certain place being assigned. You will note also that Heraclus or Heraclius is repeated, for which perhaps the codex of the Queen of Sweden reads better, forming the last name as "of Beraclus with three others," which reading we readily allow to be preferred, finding nothing else elsewhere which could be predicated concerning these holy Martyrs.
