CONCERNING THE HOLY MARTYRS RUBENTIUS AND MARTYRIUS.

Commentary

Rubentius, Martyr in the East (St.) Martyrius, Martyr in the East (St.)

The same manuscripts of St. Jerome have also produced these: In the East, the birthday of Rubentius and Martyrius. The Dungallense, as we have already said, mixes them with the African Martyrs; and substitutes Martinus for Martyrius; and it is uncertain whether it adds the forty-five other companions to this group or to the former.
