G. H.
In the fourth place are referred in the aforementioned copies of the Hieronymian Martyrology these six Martyrs: and indeed in the very ancient Epternacensian thus; Nicomedia, of Viticus, Nestor, Carus, Lampites, and Marcina, Acacius. The other copies agree in naming the contest-place as Nicomedia, and in the names of Viticus and Nestor; they differ in the rest. For in place of Cari, Lampitis, they have in a single word Carolapidis and Carolapis: for Marcina indeed Marina: the name however of Acacius is wanting in the Lucensian and Blumian, but in the Corbeian Foci is read; so that perhaps another Martyr seems to appear, and both he and Acacius to be separated from the rest. In Notker it is so had. At Nicomedia of Eutychius, Nestorius and Marina: where Eutychius is placed in the place of Viticus. The MSS. Reichenovian and Aachen with Greven; At Nicomedia of S. Nestor. Viticus, without contest-place, is referred to in the MS. Gellonensian, Augustan, some of St. Gall, and Labbé. Nor have we obtained more concerning them.
