J. B. S.

Of this class Notker found only four, namely Passeria, Macrinus, Saturus, and Emilius: in the Lucca codices and the Corbie are added Nestita and Amarinus or Amirinus; and in both editions there is subjoined: And elsewhere of Secundus, whom nevertheless the Epternach codex most expressly placed in its class in the penultimate place, which we here prefer to the rest, extending that handful of holy martyrs to the number of seven. For Nestita, such as is also named in the Corinthian troop, we preferred with our codex to read Vestita, although we have chosen Satyrus and Amarinus rather than Saterus and Ametinus.
