Saldia, Martyr in Mauritania (Saint)

Felicianus, Martyr in Mauritania (Saint)

Jocundus, Martyr in Mauritania (Saint)

The fourth band of Martyrs reported in the Martyrology of Saint Jerome: from which our codex has only two: In Mauritania, of Timothy, Saldia. The Lucca manuscript proposes a third: In Mauritania, of Curentus, Timothy, and Saldia. In the Blumian manuscript, it is written Currentus, likewise Salda. In the Parisian edition two are joined: In Mauritania, of Currentus, Timothy, and Salda, Felicianus, Jocundus. The Aquicinct manuscript: Likewise of Saints Curentius and Timothy; the place is added in the Barberini manuscript. The Reichenau manuscript and Rabanus: In Mauritania, of Timothy; Notker adds, and Salda. But with two others in the manuscript of the Queen of Sweden, published by Holstenius in the Notes on the Roman Martyrology. Grevenus in the Additions to Usuard: In Mauritania, of the Blessed Surentus and Timothy: but the former is Curentus or Currentus in other sources. In the Augsburg and Labbé manuscripts, the name of Salda is found among other Martyrs. In the Tamlaght manuscript, Saints Salda and Tithes, in other sources Timothy. The latter is reported on the following day in the printed Bede. And these are the four orders of Martyrs which the Hieronymian Martyrology presents to us.
