Hermes and Solutor

ON THE HOLY AFRICAN MARTYRS HERMES AND SOLUTOR.

Commentary

Hermes, Martyr in Africa (S.) Solutor, Martyr in Africa (S.)

Cognate names are found elsewhere for these two, but they are nowhere brought together as a pair. The ancient manuscript of S. Jerome has given them to us, in which the following is found: "In Africa, Solutor, Hermes." And the Dungal manuscript: "Salator, Hermes." Nothing more is found elsewhere.
