ON THE HOLY MARTYRS SAURUS OR SATYRUS, SILVANUS, ROGATUS OR ROGATA, MANILUS OR MARULUS, AND CYPRIANUS, IN AFRICA.
CommentarySaurus, or Satyrus, Martyr in Africa (St.)
Silvanus, Martyr in Africa (St.)
Rogatus, or Rogata, Martyr in Africa (St.)
Manlius, or Marulus, Martyr in Africa (St.)
Cyprianus, Martyr in Africa (St.)
The Martyrology of St. Jerome printed at Paris brings forth these last Martyrs: In Africa, of Saurus, Silvanus, Rogatus, Manilus. The same is found in the Lucca and Blume copies of the same St. Jerome: in our codex, in place of Saurus is written Satyrus. In the ancient Augsburg manuscript of St. Ulrich, the memory of Rogatus and Manilus is celebrated; for whom in the Paris manuscript of Labbe is written Rogata and Marulus. To these we add St. Cyprianus the Martyr, who after SS. Perpetua and Felicitas is appended in the very ancient codex of the Cassino monastery, written in Lombard script. In his place in the manuscript Martyrology of Liessies, there is a commemoration of St. Cassianus the Bishop, but perhaps Martyr should be read instead. But since we can determine nothing here except by conjecture, we prefer to abstain.
