ON SAINT BENJAMIN,
MARTYR HONORED BY THE GREEKS.
Collection from the Ms. Synaxary of Constantinople.
Benjamin M. honored by the Greeks (S.)
G. H.
That very often praised ancient Ms. Synaxary of the Church of Constantinople, pertaining to the College of the Society of Jesus at Paris, after the report of the elogium of S. Timothy Bishop of Prusa, crowned with martyrdom under Julian the apostate, has these words: "On the same day. The contest of the holy Martyr Benjamin." The contest of the holy Martyr Benjamin. The rest is missing. The Martyr could have died under earlier Gentile Emperors, because that S. Timothy is placed before him, can be ascribed to his more celebrated cult: wherefore concerning the time of martyrdom we determine nothing, not even by divining.
