ON THE HOLY AFRICAN MARTYRS PAUL, VICTOR, AND HONORATUS.
CommentaryPaul, Martyr (S.) Victor, Martyr (S.) Honoratus, Martyr (S.)
These are unknown to us. Two manuscript codices present them, and the appendix of the Carthusians of Cologne to Usuard. The ancient manuscript of S. Jerome: In the city of Gadava, of S. Paul. In Africa, at Perugia, of Victor and Honoratus. In Tuscany, of Constantine. The reading seems to be: In the city of Gadava, of S. Paul. In Africa, of Victor and Honoratus. At Perugia in Tuscany, of Constantine. Everything is even more confused in the Irish manuscript of the Dungal convent: Of Paul the Bishop. Of Hippolytus the Bishop and three bishops, Constantine, Victor, Honoratus, Constantia the Virgin. At Perugia, at Trier. Nor does the codex used by the Carthusians seem to have been free from error; for they have thus: Likewise of SS. Paul, Victor, Hippolytus, Honoratus, at Petrosia. Where the city of Gadava is situated, we have not read; unless it is Gadara.
