ON SS. DIOSCORUS AND MARINUS,
MARTYRS AT ALEXANDRIA.
From four ancient copies of the same Martyrology & others.
CommentaryDioscorus, Martyr at Alexandria (S.)
Marinus, Martyr at Alexandria (S.)
G. H.
The four indicated copies of the Hieronymian Martyrology, in the second place, set forth these Martyrs thus: At Alexandria, of Dioscorus & Marinus, Martyrs. Who are mentioned in the same way in the Reichenau, Tournai, Trier Ms. of S. Maximinus & others; in some of which, in place of "Alexandri," "Alexandriæ" is put, or even the arena is omitted, or other Martyrs are interposed. Their memory is celebrated also in the Martyrology printed at Cologne & Lübeck about the year 1490; likewise in Grevenus in the Auctarium of Usuardus, in Maurolycus, Felicius, & others. In the Carmelite Ms. kept at Cologne they are said to have been soldiers. In the Anchin Ms. Marina the Virgin is placed at Alexandria: But she seems to be understood as Maria crowned at Aquileia, who is reported in the following group, & is also called Marina.
