African Martyrs Gregory

ON THE HOLY AFRICAN MARTYRS

GREGORY, ARCHELAUS AND FELICISSIMA.

Gregory, Martyr in Africa (S.)

Archelaus, Martyr in Africa (S.)

Felicissima, Martyr in Africa (S.)

G. H.

We proceed with the four ancient apographs of the Hieronymian Martyrology; in which these things are read. In Africa of Gregory, Archelaus, Felicissima. The MS. Richenoviense mentions Gregory alone as having suffered in Africa: the same have but are silent on the name of the place Grevenus and the MS. Aquisgranense. In place of Archelaus is written elsewhere Archilaus, Arcelaus, Arcilaus; and what differs most, the MS. Augustanum of S. Udalric writes the names Gregory, Aurelianus and Felicissimus, and interposes the same to others. In the Labbean MS. mention is made of Gregory and Felicissimus, but in place of Archelaus is placed elsewhere. We from the constant reading of the Hieronymian Martyrology retain Felicissima. In the MS. Tamlactense Martyrology are read the names Gregory, Archilaus and Felicissus, with the last syllable omitted.
