Mucius, Megetia and Minginus

ON SS. MUCIUS, MEGETIA, MINGINUS,

MARTYRS AT CONSTANTINOPLE.

From the same Martyrology.

Mutius, Martyr at Constantinople (S.)

Megetia, Martyr at Constantinople (S.)

Minginus, Martyr at Constantinople (S.)

G. H.

The third troop in the ancient copies of the Hieronymian Martyrology is of this kind: At Constantinople, of Mucius or Nucius, Megetia, or Migitia, or Migena, & Minginus. The Mss. of Florence of the Grand Duke & of Senator Strozzi: In the city of Constantinople, of the Holy Martyrs Mitius, Migetius, & Minginus. Ms. Richenoviense; At Constantinople of Mucius, & Meretia. Ms. Rhinoviense: At Constantinople, of Mincius & Meretia. Ms. Aquisgranense. At Constantinople of Mucius & Megetia.

[2] All things considered, with the most ancient Ms. Epternach, thus we think should be read: At Constantinople, of Mucius, Megetia, Minginus. But these Martyrs we judge were crowned at Byzantium, but because that city was afterwards called Constantinople, the more worthy name although more recent was assumed in this place.
