African Martyrs Felix

ON THE HOLY AFRICAN MARTYRS,

FELIX, NICETA OR NITICA, POSTINIANA OR POSTUNIANA, AND PHILIP,

From the Hieronymian Martyrologies.

Felix, Martyr in Africa (St.)

Niceta, Martyr in Africa (St.)

Postiniana, Martyr in Africa (St.)

Philip, Martyr in Africa (St.)

J. B. S.

That these four Martyrs are Africans, the Lucca and Corbie codices compel me to gather: although the Epternach codex has the particle "elsewhere" inserted after the name of Felix, differing besides from the rest in this, that between Postiniana and Philip it intrudes Patruina, who by others is referred to the last class; so that therefore this whole troop is restricted to only four martyrs, with that sole difference which we expressed in the title itself, that for Niceta the Corbie reads Nitica, but the Epternach alone Postuniana. Nothing besides recurs that is worthy of observation.
