ON ST. CYRIACUS, MARTYR AT NEVEDUNUM.
CommentaryCyriacus, Martyr, at Niviiunum (St.)
From various sources.
Many cities in Gaul and elsewhere are known by the name Nividunum or Nevedunum; which one this is we cannot conjecture, being deprived of the light of the Acts. Nor is it sufficiently clear to us whether, as we here suspect, there is an error, and whether those who are joined to Cyriacus -- Tharsus, Leucius, and Callinicus -- are the same as those listed in most Martyrologies on January 28. The most ancient manuscript of St. Jerome has: "At Nevedunum: Tharsus, Leucius, Gallinicus, Cyriacus." In the Dungal manuscript, Cyriacus is recorded, and Leontius for Leucius; also Gallinicus, but not Thyrsus or Tharsus.
