J. P.
These Martyrs the printed Menæa offer us, and their Index with Maximus Bishop of Cythera. On the same day also the Supplement to the printed Menæa from the Synaxary of Sirmond and the Ms. of Chifflet recounts Andrew and Probus; the rest being deferred to the following day, the XIII of this month; on which it brings them forth thus, adding a new companion: Ἄθλησις τοῦ ἁγίου Ἀνδρέου, τοῦ στρατιώτου, Ἡρακλέου, Φαύστου, Μένα, καὶ τῆς συνοδίας αὐτῶν. On that day also they are marked in the Menæa of the Ambrosian library. The passion of St. Andrew the soldier, Heracleus, Faustus, Menas, and their Companions. In the Menæum of Chifflet I read on this XII day: Ἀνδρέα στρατηλάτου, καὶ τῶν αὐτοῦ. Of Andrew the leader of soldiery, and his Companions.
