ON SS. CORNELIUS AND CAELESTIUS, AND OTHER MARTYRS IN THE EAST

Commentary

Cornelius, Martyr in the East (St.) Caelestius, Martyr in the East (St.) Other Martyrs in the East

[1] These are entirely unknown to us; they are recorded in two very ancient Martyrologies: one is that of St. Jerome, and it reads thus: "And in the East: Cornelius, Caelestius, and others." The other is the Rhinow Martyrology: "In the East: Cornelius, Calestus."
