G. H.

Another troop of three Martyrs in the ancient Epternach copy of the Hieronymian Martyrology, after S. Timothy and the seven Virgins who suffered at Sirmium, is thus set forth: And elsewhere of Alexander, Dignus, Chottia. But, as we admonished above, in the other three copies the particle "elsewhere" is placed before the seven Virgins: and in the Corbie MS. printed at Paris in this manner: At Sirmium of Timothy, and elsewhere of seven Virgins, Alexander, Dignus, Chottia. In the Lucca codex in place of Chottia is Chotitia, and in the Blumian MS. Chotidia. But of the seven Virgins we treated above with S. Timothy. S. Dignus is mentioned in the MSS. of Augsburg of S. Udalric, and of Paris of Labbé, for whom in the Aachen MS. Digna is found. In the Tallaght MS. the names of SS. Alexander, Dignus, and Cotia are indicated.
