ON S. EUSTASIUS AT NICOMEDIA IN BITHYNIA.
CommentaryEustasius, at Nicomedia in Bithynia (S.)
From various sources.
At Nicomedia, a most celebrated city, very many shed their blood in defense of the Christian religion, especially at the time when Diocletian and others established their imperial seat there. We believe S. Eustasius to be of their number, although martyrdom is not expressly mentioned in the manuscripts of S. Jerome and the Dungal manuscript, from which we have drawn his name. Their words we have given above, where we treated of SS. Felix, Celsianus, Caecilianus, etc. On 7 November we shall treat of another Eustasius, recorded by the same Martyrology of S. Jerome and others, together with Polisius, Primus, and Rogatianus.
