BY THE AUTHOR G. H.
The last this is & greatest Martyrs' class of the Hieronymian Martyrology, which in the most ancient apograph Epternac thus is commemorated: At Tarsus of Cilicia, of Aphrodisius, Privatus, Giddinus, Saturninus, Petrus, Dativus, Furtunus, Lucella, Maxina, Matrona, Muttacus, Cicilus, Victurus, Januarius, Secura, Victuria, Bonosus, Constantia, Maximus, Geminus, Januarius, Saminus, Perecria, Sinteria, Nulus, Majola, Marulus, Felix, Indidus, Reflentus, Tinnus, Filion, Tinthisus, Levius, Zetula, Januaria, Furtunata, Teclacia, Rogata, Paulina, Lavarus, Nina, Januarius, Condelia, Honoria, Saturninus, Saturninus, Secundus, Donatus, Solutor, Felix, Marcinappolus, Cuddeus, Darus, Nasomosus; likewise of Victor, Satulus, Masutus, Maleus, Severus, Marcianus, Fuitunus, Saturus, Quintalus, Severiolus, Felix, Quintus, Faustus, Donatus, Excritatus, Septimus, Lucinus, Restitutus, Biricus, Dativa: likewise of Januaria, Nina, Felix, Satira, Marcilla, Matrona, Tuja, Luesa, Victurina: likewise of Felicia, Jocunda, Gloriosa, Rogatina, Victurina, Julia, Prima: likewise of Furtunatus, Mana, Rogatus, Munnus, Jacobus, Septimina, Maurellus, Incidus, Tunnus, Felicio, Seleucus, Honoratus, Saturnus, Lucinus, Gebberia, Venusta, Saturna, Quintuba: likewise of Cyrillus, Dionysius. These things in the said codex Epternac, a thousand about years ago written. Which with some diversity in the other of the Martyrology Hieronymian apographs are read. And first in the MS. Blumian toward the beginning thirteen Martyrs are wanting with the arena Tarsus, which also is not in the other MSS. Lucca & Corbey. But that the diversity of names more easily may be understood, them by decades we distinguish. In the first decade elsewhere is read Fortunus, & in the Lucca Dativa. In the second decade in the place of Cicilus, in the Lucca is read Silicus, & in the Blumian Cilicius. But Secura in the Lucca Secusa, in the other two Sacusa; Victuria, in others Victurina; but is wanting in the Blumian. For Bonosus & Maximus elsewhere is Bonosa & Maxima; but this is wanting again in the Blumian. In the third decade after Saminus are wanting eleven in the Blumian, & in the place of Perecria, elsewhere is Peregria & Peregrina: likewise in the place of Sinteria, Rulus, Majola, elsewhere are the names Sinterus, Erulus, Majulus, & in the Lucca Matulus. So Marulus & Indidus, in others Marullus & Marulla, & Indicus. In the fourth decade Filion, in others Felion: likewise Tinthisus, in others Tuintus & Thuintus: Leucus, in others Seleucus; Zetula, in the MS. Lucca Zeculla: & Fortunata, in the Corbey Fortunatus; & Teclacia, in others Theclacia & Tedetia, to which is subjoined the name of Donatus, who was wanting in the Epternac. In the fifth decade Lavarus & Saturnus the names are wanting in others, as Januarius in the Lucca & Blumian. In the place of Condelia & Honoria in others is Candedia & Honorius: & for Saturninus, in the Blumian is Saturnina. And for Solutor elsewhere is Salutaris: but is wanting in the Lucca. In the sixth decade Cuddeus in others is Coddeus, & in the Lucca Cotedeus: in the place of Marcianus in the Blumian is Marcia, as in the place of Furtunus elsewhere is Fortunus, & in the Blumian Fortinus. Then in the place of Quintalus & Felix, elsewhere is read Quintalus & Fidelis. In the eighth decade the name of Excritatus, in the Corbey MS. is Excruatus: but Biricus in the Blumian Birocius, & in the Lucca Periocus. Then Dativa the name in others is Dativus: & Januaria, in the Lucca Januarius: but Satira in the Blumian Satura, & in the Corbey Satica: but Marcilla in others Marcella. In the ninth decade Tuja, in the Corbey Tula, in the Blumian Tina: & Luesa in others Lucusa; as Victorina, Victurina & Victoria: from Julia moreover are wanting XIV Martyrs' names in the Blumian. In the tenth decade Mana, in others Maria; Rogatus the name in the Corbey is Rogata: & for Munnus other MSS. Mennus & Monnus have: & so for Septimina, in the Corbey Septimia; & for Maurellus & Indicus, in the Lucca is found Maurella & Indicus. In the eleventh & last decade in the place of Tunnus in others is Tunus, & he who above to those was wanting, is interposed Saturnus, & is added the name of Quintula.
[2] From the reported here Saints inscribed are the MSS. Treves of S. Maximinus & of the Church of Prague, the names of Constantia, Geminus, Peregrina. In which also manner the names of Felix, Fausta, Maria, inserted are in the MSS. Augsburg of S. Udalric & Parisian of Labbé. In the MS. Tamlacht of Affrodisius, Primitius & Jacobus. A doubt to be moved can be whether S. Aphrodisius, of these Martyrs the Standard-bearer, a singular cult has on the day preceding IX of May: which to others to be discussed I propose, & from further, if any can from elsewhere be had knowledge, I await a resolution: meanwhile each one I leave in the faith of the ancient monuments, nothing besides names suggesting.
