Paulinus and Isichus

From the same Hieronymian Martyrology.

Commentary

Paulinus, Martyr at Antioch (S.)

Isicus, Martyr at Antioch (S.)

G. H.

The aforesaid apographs of the Hieronymian Martyrology

conclude this

day and month with these words: At

Antioch of Paulinus and Isicus. For

this in the Epternach is engraved Isticus.

But with the prior reading agree the MS. Martyrologies, the Roman

of Cardinal Barberini, the Atrebatense

of the Cathedral Church, the Tornacense of the monastery of S. Martin;

and in these two is called their birthday, and is added

Justus. But this pertains to the Spanish Saints, having suffered at Gerunda.

But not having palaestra apposed both are mentioned in

MSS. Pragensis of the principal Church, and another submitted to us at Paris by

Philippus Labbé, but only Isicus in MS. Reichenau

in Suevia. More if anyone of these Martyrs shall come to know,

I will gladly learn: nor will I deny, that I would not have dared

to separate them from the Gerundan Martyrs,

and to defer them to June, except so concordantly in all

the exemplars of the Hieronymian Martyrology they are found

ascribed at Antioch, with also two interjected Martyrs,

one of Cirtha, the other of Carthage, a little above

named.
