G. H.
The Corbeian apograph of the Hieronymian Martyrology, printed at Paris, in the second place celebrates these Martyrs in these words; At Tarsus of Cilicia of Aphrodisius, Iocundus, Firmus: but three other apographs, the Epternacian, Lucan and Blumian, omit the two companions Iocundus and Firmus: which the same is done by Notker, Rabanus, the Author of the Martyrology printed under the name of Bede with the MSS. of Reichenau, the Patrician transcribed at Naples, and another of the Queen of Sweden. But without place of martyrdom is reported S. Aphrodisius in the MSS. of Aachen, of Augsburg of S. Udalric and the Parisian of Labbe, and of Tamlacht, as in the Auctary of Greven to Usuard, and on the preceding day VIII of May in the Martyrology of S. Savinus de Levitania, in Saussay in the additions to the Gallican Martyrology page 1248.
