Commentary

Anastasius, Martyr at Sirmium in Pannonia (St.) Florian, Martyr at Sirmium in Pannonia (St.) Florus, Martyr at Sirmium in Pannonia (St.) Jucundus, Martyr at Sirmium in Pannonia (St.) Peter, Martyr at Sirmium in Pannonia (St.) Ratites, Martyr at Sirmium in Pannonia (St.) Tatia, Martyr at Sirmium in Pannonia (St.) Tilis, Martyr at Sirmium in Pannonia (St.)

The Martyrology of St. Jerome: "And at Sirmium, Anastasius, Jucundus, Ratites, Peter, Florus, Tilis, Florian, and Tatia." Whether this is the same Anastasius whom we gave on January 6 from the same Martyrology is not easy to determine. Other martyrologies also have Jucundus on this day: Notker's: "In Greece, Rusticus, Timothy (of whom we shall treat below), and Jucundus." He appears to be the same person, and the passage in Notker is perhaps defective. The manuscript Florarium: "In Greece, St. Timothy and Jucundus." The same had been added by a more recent hand to the old manuscript Martyrology of Ado from the monastery of St. Lawrence at Liege.
