We proceed with the ancient apographs of the Martyrology of Jerome, in whose most ancient Echternach these things are read: In the city Cortuna, of Vincentius, Nidernus, Hercelus, Menerus, Paulus, also Paulus, Aquilinus, Minorgus. In the Codex of Lucca with the order somewhat changed thus is had: In the city Cortona, of Vincentius, Nidernus, Herelus, Paulus, Menerus, Aquilus, also Paulus, Monorgus. Which are plainly the same in MS. Blume: & nearly so in MS. Corbie printed at Paris: but the city, is called Corthosa, & is written Vincentius & Minerus, & toward the end is added Gajus. Who of these Martyrs is the Leader & Standard-bearer is mentioned without the place in MSS. Aachen & Labbe & Gellonensian, also in the Auctarium of Greven to Usuard. Notker has these things: In the city Cortina of Vincentius & others. In MS. of Tamlachta are the names, of Vincentius, Nidernus, Herilius, Minerius, Paulus, Aquilinus, Minorgus. The locale Cortona (for which also Cortuna, Cortina & Corthosa is read) appears to be that, which to the ancients most known city of Etruria, even now adorned with Episcopal See, in the dominion of the Grand Duke, on the borders of the country of Perugia & the Pontifical domain stands, not far from Lake Trasimene, once famous for the Roman defeat.
