Under Maximus as standard-bearer, says Florentinius, our books bring forth ten sacred champions of both sexes, deviating little in their names from the most ancient codex. The Corbie expresses eleven, in that after Isicius it adds Mœnis, whom we thought should be omitted by the consensus of the others; if anyone wishes her added, for our part let it be permitted him. In the names there is this more notable difference, that Veronia in the Lucca is transformed into Nironicus, whom the Corbie names Vironicus; in the rest there is no diversity of such moment as to deserve to be observed.
