The whole class of these ten holy Martyrs on this day is enumerated by the Corbie codex alone, all the others being either mutilated or recording other placings, which Florentinius rightly judges must be rejected in his observations for this day, preferring with us the text adduced above to the rest, even though in his own list the last two, Romolus and Sylvius, are lacking. Nor do we think we need labor at correcting the beginning, where some codices read in Pontus or of Pontus, in the city of Amacia; it is plain enough what the said codices mean to indicate, in which barbarisms of this kind occur here and there. As for Orion with his companions, who is here repeated by these same codices, he has already been reported by us above on the XVI day of this month.
