Apollonius and Euphemius

ON THE HOLY MARTYRS

APOLLONIUS AND EUPHEMIUS.

Apollonius, Martyr (S.)

Euphemius, Martyr (S.)

G. H.

To the related African Martyrs is subjoined in four transcripts of the Hieronymian Martyrology this pair of Martyrs, with no place added, in these words: And elsewhere of Apollonius, Euphemius, or Eufemus. Hitherto several Apollonius Martyrs have been given, but no Euphemius, as far as we recollect. There are some in the feminine sex, Euphemiae, as the reader from the Indexes of the Martyrologies can investigate and know. Apollonius is mentioned in the MS. of Tallaght. What if Euphemius joined to this one be Euphebius, or Ephebus, and both together with Proculus related on February XV, as having suffered at Interamna, here again be referred on the occasion of the Martyrs of Interamna presently to be related?
