CONCERNING THE HOLY AFRICAN MARTYRS ADRIAN, VICTURUS, AND SECUNDILLA.

Commentary.

St. Adrian, Martyr in Africa.

St. Victurus, Martyr in Africa.

St. Secundilla, Martyr in Africa.

[1] This second class of Martyrs is brought forward in the Martyrology of St. Jerome; and indeed in the one printed at Paris with these words: In Africa, Adrian, Victurus, Secundilla. In the Lucca codex, Alanus is read for Adrian; in the third codex it is Viciorius, who in others is Victurus. In the manuscript Calendar of the Vallicella, the former is recorded: In Africa, St. Adrian. In the Prague manuscript they are mixed with the Marseilles Martyrs: In Africa, at Marseilles, the Saints Hermes and Adrian, Victurus, Secundilla, etc. The rest remains hidden.
