        Bartholomǽus Apóstolus, Galilǽus, cum in Indiam citeriórem, quæ ei in orbis terrárum
        sortitióne ad prædicándum Jesu Christi Evangélium obvénerat, progréssus esset,
        advéntum Dómini Jesu juxta sancti Matthǽi Evangélium illis géntibus prædicávit. Sed,
        cum in ea província plúrimos ad Jesum Christum convertísset, multos labóres
        calamitatésque perpéssus, venit in majórem Arméniam.


        Ibi Polýmium regem et cónjugem ejus ac prætérea duódecim civitátes ad christiánam
        fidem perdúxit. Quæ res in eum magnam invídiam concitávit illíus gentis sacerdótum.
        Nam usque ádeo Astýagem, Polýmii regis fratrem, in Apóstolum incendérunt, ut is vivo
        Bartholomǽo pellem crudéliter détrahi jússerit ac caput abscíndi; quo in martýrio
        ánimam Deo réddidit.


        Ejus corpus Albáni, quæ est urbs majóris Arméniæ, ubi is passus fúerat, sepúltus est.
        Quod póstea ad Líparam ínsulam delátum, inde Benevéntum translátum est. Postrémo
        Romam ab Ottóne tértio imperatóre portátum, in Tíberis ínsula, in ecclésia ejus nómine
        Deo dicáta, collocátum fuit.

        The Apostle Bartholomew was a Galilean. In the division of the world among the Apostles
        it fell to his lot to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in hither India. He went thither
        and preached to those nations the coming of the Lord Jesus, according to the Gospel of
        St. Matthew. When he had turned many in that province to Jesus Christ, and had endured
        many toils and woes, he came into the Greater Armenia.


        There he brought to the Christian faith Polymius the King, and his wife, and likewise
        the inhabitants of twelve cities. This stirred up a great hatred against him among the
        priests of that nation. They so inflamed against the Apostle Astyages the brother of
        King Polymius, that he savagely ordered Bartholomew to be flayed alive and beheaded;
        under the which martyrdom he gave up his soul to God.


        His body was buried at the town of Albanopolis in the Greater Armenia, where he had
        suffered. It was afterwards taken to the Island of Lipari, and thence carried to
        Benevento. Lastly, the Emperor Otto III brought it to Rome, where it was laid in the
        Church dedicated to God in his name on the Island in the Tiber.
