    Sanctórum Mártyrum Cornélii Pape, et Cypriáni, Carthaginénsis Epíscopi, quorum memória décimo octávo Kaléndas Octóbris recólitur.

    Chalcedóne natális sanctæ Euphémiæ, Vírginis et Mártyris; quæ, sub Diocletiáno Imperatóre et Prisco Procónsule, torménta, cárceres, vérbera, arguménta rotárum, ignes, póndera lápidum, béstias, plagas virgárum, serras acútas, sartágines ignítas pro Christo superávit. Sed, rursus in theátrum ad béstias ducta, ibi, cum orásset ad Dóminum ut jam spíritum suum suscíperet, una ex iis morsum sancto córpori infigénte, céteris pedes ejus lambéntibus, immaculátum spíritum Deo réddidit.

    Romæ sanctórum Mártyrum Lúciæ, nóbilis matrónæ, et Geminiáni; quos ambos Diocletiánus Imperátor, pœnis gravíssimis afflíctos diúque tortos, tandem, post laudábilem martýrii victóriam, gládio animadvérti præcépit.

    Natális sancti Martíni Primi, Papæ et Mártyris, qui, cum Sérgium ac Paulum et Pyrrhum hæréticos, Romæ coácta Sýnodo, condemnásset, ídeo, jussu Constántis, Imperatóris hærétici, per fraudem captus et Constantinópolim perdúctus, in Chersonésum relegátus est, ibíque, ob cathólicam fidem ærúmnis conféctus, vitam finívit, multísque miráculis cláruit. Ejus corpus, póstea Romam translátum, in Ecclésia sanctórum Silvéstri et Martíni cónditum fuit. Ipsíus tamen festívitas prídie Idus Novémbris celebrátur.

    Romæ item natális sanctæ Cæcíliæ, Vírginis et Mártyris, quæ sponsum suum Valeriánum et fratrem ejus Tibúrtium ad credéndum in Christum perdúxit, et ad martýrium incitávit. Hanc Almáchius, Urbis Præféctus, post eórum martýrium tenéri, atque illústri passióne, post ignem superátum, fecit gládio consummári, témpore Marci Aurélii Sevéri Alexándri Imperatóris. Ejus vero festum recólitur décimo Kaléndas Decémbris.

    Heracléæ, in Thrácia, sanctæ Sebastiánæ Mártyris, quæ a beáto Paulo Apóstolo ad Christi fidem est perdúcta; atque, sub Domitiáno Imperatóre et Sérgio Prǽside, váriis modis tentáta, gládio tandem cæsa est.

    Romæ, via Flamínia, sanctórum Mártyrum Abúndii Presbýteri, et Abundántii Diáconi, quos Diocletiánus Imperátor, una cum illústri viro Marciáno et ejus fílio Joánne, quem illi a mórtuis suscitáverant, gládio feríri jussit, décimo ab Urbe lápide.

    Córdubæ, in Hispánia, sanctórum Mártyrum Rogélli et Servidéi, qui, mánibus pedibúsque abscíssis, ad últimum decolláti sunt.

    Apud Cándidam Casam, in Scótia, sancti Niniáni, Epíscopi et Confessóris.

    In Anglia sanctæ Edíthæ Vírginis, Regis Anglórum Edgári fíliæ, quæ, in monastério a tenéris annis Deo dicáta, sǽculum hoc ignorávit pótius quam relíquit.

    In monte Cassíno Beáti Victóris Papæ Tértii, qui, sancti Gregórii Séptimi succéssor, Apostólicam Sedem novo splendóre illustrávit, insígnem de Saracénis triúmphum divína ope consecútus. Cultum, ab immemorábili témpore eídem exhíbitum, Leo Décimus tértius, Póntifex Máximus, ratum hábuit et confirmávit.

    At Chalcedon, the holy Virgin and martyr Euphemia. Under the Emperor Diocletian and the Proconsul Priscus, she overcame for Christ's sake torture, imprisonment, stripes, wheels, fire, stones, beasts, rods, sharp saws, and hot metal. When she was again cast to the beasts in the theatre, she prayed the Lord to take her spirit to Himself, and then one of them bit her sacred body, while the rest licked her feet, and she resigned her soul without spot to God.

    At Rome, the holy martyrs Lucy, a noble matron, and Geminian, whom the Emperor Diocletian, after they had suffered grievously and long been tormented, and had thus gained a noble victory by martyrdom, commanded to be slain with the sword.

    Likewise at Rome, upon the Flaminian Way, the holy martyrs Abundius the Priest and Abundantius the Deacon, whom the Emperor Diocletian commanded to be beheaded at the tenth milestone from the city, along with the eminent Marcian, and John, the son of Marcian, whom they had raised from the dead.

    At Heraclea, in Thrace, the holy martyr Sebastiana, who was led to believe in Christ by the blessed Apostle Paul. Under the Emperor Domitian and the President Sergius she was diversely tried and at last slain with the sword.

    At Cordova, (in the ninth century,) the holy martyrs Rogellus and ServusDei, who had their hands and feet cut off and were at last beheaded.

    In Scotland, the holy Confessor Ninian, Bishop (of Galloway, whose feast we keep upon the 25th day of this present month of September.)

    In England, (in the tenth century,) the holy Virgin Edith, daughter of Edgar, King of the English, who was dedicated to God from a child in the Monastery (of the Order of St. Benedict, at Wilton,) and knew not the world, rather then forsook it.
