African Martyrs Portinus

28 May · commentary

ON THE HOLY AFRICAN MARTYRS,

PORTINUS, OR PROTUS, ARMINIA, OR MARIMINIA, AND SECUNDINUS.

From the same more ancient Martyrologies.

Commentary

St. Portinus or Protus, Martyr in Africa.

St. Arminia or Mariminia, Martyr in Africa.

St. Secundinus, Martyr in Africa.

BY D. P.

In the already mentioned Corbie codex printed at Paris, after the said Pamphylian Martyrs, these things follow: In Africa, of Portunus, Ariminia, Secundinus. But the last being omitted, these are had in the Lucca and Blume copies: In Africa, of Portinus, Arminia. But because we said the preceding Pamphylian Martyrs were cast into one band with these in the Echternach Manuscript, of these the following names are found there, Protus instead of Portinus, then Marus, Minia, or rather by one word Mariminia, instead of Ariminia or Arminia, and Felicianus is added. But this seems put in place of Felix, and is to be referred also to the Sardinian Martyrs, omitted in the said Manuscript.
