Twenty-Five Martyrs at Nicomedia

ON THE 25 MARTYRS AT NICOMEDIA.

From the manuscript Greek Synaxaria of Sirmond and Chifflet.

The 25 Martyrs at Nicomedia (SS.)

J. P.

The same codex of ours, of Sirmond and Chifflet, exhibits to us these holy 25 Martyrs. "The holy 25 Martyrs, who are from Nicomedia, are consummated by fire." The holy 25 Martyrs of Nicomedia are consummated by fire. Their elogium the manuscript of Chifflet completes in two iambic verses: "The number of the men whom the flame burned is a cycle, for five taken five times is clearly a cycle." The number of men whom the flame burned is a cycle, for five taken five times is truly a cycle.
