Many are reported to have been crowned with martyrdom together with Sts. Faustinus and Jovita (of whom we shall treat on the 15th of February). From their number Nainius, Jacobinus, and Anselmus are traditionally held to have been. Since we have found nowhere the date of their feast, Their feast day is unknown. we record here the commemoration of their Discovery, from the Martyrology of Peter Galesinius, in which the following is found: "At Brescia, the discovery of the Holy Martyrs Nainius, Here is their Discovery. Jacobinus, and Anselmus, who were crowned together with the blessed Martyrs Jovita and Faustinus, fighting bravely for the faith." The German Martyrology has the same, though with "Bainius" instead of "Nainius." Ferrarius also lists them from Galesinius, but denies that any mention of them survives in the records of the Church of Brescia. However, Galesinius cites the Annals of Brescia, though he does not specify at what time this discovery took place.
