ON SAINT EUPLIUS MARTYR AMONG THE GREEKS.
From the MS. Synaxarium of Dijon.
CommentaryEuplius, Martyr among the Greeks (S.)
D. P.
The MS. Synaxarium which at Dijon in our College we found in the keeping of P. Peter Francis Chifflet, indicates to us this Martyr in these words. The holy Martyr Euplius, wrapped in the hide of an ox and set in the sun, is perfected. Sanctus Martyr Euplius, in the hide of an ox wrapped, and exposed to the sun, is crowned with martyrdom. These verses then are added: They scorch in the sun the ox-wrapped Euplius, Who see not the light of the spiritual sun. Wrapped in the hide they scorch Euplius with the sun, Who do not see the light of the spiritual sun.
