I. B.
The Martyrology of Saint Jerome, or the ancient Roman Martyrology, lists these Martyrs thus: "At Alexandria: Julian, Victor, Felix, Secundus, Severian, Carpophorus, Germinius, Cyriacus, Ammonius, Euminius, Pamphilus." Baronius, as we said before, on the authority of a single manuscript Martyrology writes that Julian was killed at Carthage together with Modestus. Dexter assigns both to Carthagena in Spain. Not only does the Jerome manuscript contradict this, but the Reichenau manuscript also reads: "At Alexandria: Julian, Victor, Secundus, Germanus." The manuscripts of the Church of Saint Mary at Utrecht and of the monastery of Saint Martin at Trier read: "At Alexandria, Julian the Martyr, and eighteen others." The Aachen Martyrology has only "Julian the Martyr," without place or companions. In certain manuscripts, again on February 13, Julian, Ammonius, and Cyriacus are mentioned as having suffered at Alexandria: whether the same or different persons is not sufficiently clear.
