The ancient Hieronymian Martyrologies begin

the present day from these Martyrs in this

manner: At Alexandria of Aphrodisius, Agrippa,

Sabinus, Grisus, Lucius, Cyrilla, Cridula, Jovinus

and two others. From these in place of Grisus is also read

Grissus and Grippus. From the names of Lucius and Cyrilla, a single

is concocted in the MS. of Echternach: Lucirilla: and in the same

for Cridula is Oritula, and three Companions are added.

Juvinus is in only the Corbey of Paris printed, and to two

anonymous postponed. In other Martyrologies also some

are mentioned: for in MS. of Reichenau these things are:

Alexandria of Agrippa, Sabinus, Lucius, Cyrilla. MS. of Rhihovius:

Alexandria of Agrippa. Notker thus has:

At Alexandria of Aphrodisius, Agrippa and many

Martyrs. But the place of martyrdom is not indicated

in the MSS. of Aachen, Augsburg and Labbe of Agrippa,

Lucius, Sabinus; although also Agrippus and Lucas

is also read. In Greven in the Additions to Usuard

these are handed down: Likewise of the Saints Gagus, Lucus,

Agrippa and Sabina. And in the MS. Florarium mention is made of the Holy

Virgins Agrippa and Sabina: meanwhile Sabinus

or Savinus is read in ancient Martyrologies, in

which Gagus below among other Martyrs is venerated. In the MS.

of Tamlacht are reported the names of Affrodissius, Sabinus,

Agrifa, Lucus, Credula, Quirilla, Gressus, likewise

Lucius.
