ON THE HOLY MARTYRS MEDULA AND HER COMPANIONS.
CommentaryMedula, Martyr (Saint) Companions, Martyrs
This is unknown to the Latins. It is mentioned by the Greeks on this day, in Maximus Cythereus and the Menaea; in which only this is found: On the same day, the holy Medula, together with her company, was perfected by fire.
Venerable Medula, handmaid of God the Word, Was seen as a fellow-contestant with the servants of God in the fire.
On the same day, St. Medula with her company is consumed by fire.
Venerable Medula, handmaid of God the Word, Companion of the servants of God, was seen in the fire.
There is a play on words between δούλη, which means handmaid, and Μεδούλη. Our colleague Raderus translated it: Of St. Medula with her fellow Martyr. It seems to us that the company consisted of more than one.
