A brief notice of the otherwise unattested martyrs Primianus, two Saturnini, Victor, Honoratus, Leucius, and Hermes, known only from the manuscript Martyrology of St. Jerome.
CONCERNING THE HOLY MARTYRS PRIMIANUS, SATURNINUS, ANOTHER SATURNINUS, VICTOR, HONORATUS, LEUCIUS, AND HERMES.
We have received notice of these martyrs, not observed elsewhere, from the same manuscript Martyrology of St. Jerome, in which the following is found: "Papa, of Primianus, Saturninus. Likewise of Saturninus, Victor, Honoratus, Leucius, Hermes." Whether that "Papa" was written for "Papia" by the one who expanded that Martyrology, or whether it signifies a man's name, we have not determined.

Support the Translation
The Acta Sanctorum has never been available in English. This site is translating all of it: January through July are done, August is underway, and the calendar runs to November 10, where the Bollandists stopped in 1940. The scholarship pipeline is built; what remains is a compute bill. Contributions go directly to translating more of the calendar.
The Acta was a funded enterprise for three centuries; the translation runs the same way. Everything here is free and stays free whether you give or not. Wroot Press is a small independent press — an imprint of Wroot Labs LLC, not a charity. Contributions aren't tax-deductible; they buy compute.
