    Sebáste, in Arménia, pássio sancti Blásii, Epíscopi et Mártyris; qui, multórum patrátor miraculórum, sub Agricoláo Prǽside, post diútinam cæsiónem, atque in ligno suspensiónem, ubi férreis pectínibus carnes ejus dirúptæ sunt, post tetérrimum cárcerem et in lacum demérsionem, unde salvus exívit, tandem, jubénte eódem Júdice, una cum duóbus púeris, cápite truncátur. Ante ipsum vero septem mulíeres, quæ guttas sánguinis, ex ejúsdem Mártyris córpore defluéntes, dum torquerétur, colligébant, proptérea, deprehénsæ quod essent Christiánæ, omnes, post dira torménta, gládio percússæ sunt.

    In Africa sancti Celeríni Diáconi, qui, decem et novem dies custódia cárceris septus, in nervo et ferro variísque pœnis gloriósus fuit Christi Conféssor; et, dum inexpugnábili firmitáte certáminis sui vicit adversárium, vincéndi céteris viam fecit.

    Ibídem sanctórum trium Mártyrum, ipsíus Celeríni Diáconi consanguineórum, scílicet Laurentíni pátrui, Ignátii avúnculi, et Celérinæ áviæ, qui ántea martýrio coronáti fúerant; de quorum ómnium gloriósis láudibus exstat beáti Cypriáni epístola.

    Item in Africa sanctórum Mártyrum Felícis, Symphrónii, Hippólyti et Sociórum.

    In óppido Vapíngo, in Gállia, sanctórum Tigídis et Remédii Episcopórum.

    Lugdúni, in Gállia, sanctórum Lupicíni et Felícis, itidem Episcopórum.

    Bremæ sancti Anschárii, Hamburgénsis ac póstea Breménsis simul Epíscopi, qui Suévos et Danos ad Christi fidem convértit, et a Gregório Papa Quarto Legátus Apostólicus totíus Septentriónis fuit institútus.

    At Sebaste, in Armenia, the holy martyr Blase, (about the year 316,) Bishop of that city, and the worker of many miracles. Under the President Agricolaus he was long flogged, then hung to a beam, where his flesh was rent with iron combs, then he suffered a foul imprisonment, after which he was cast into the lake, and, forasmuch as he came out thence unhurt, he was beheaded, by order of the same judge, along with two lads.

    Before him seven women, who were collecting the drops of his blood as they fell during the torture, were arrested for being Christians, and after being grievously tormented were put to the sword.

    In Africa, the holy Deacon Celerinus, who was kept nineteen days in prison, and was a glorious confessor of Christ under the lash, and in iron chains and other sufferings, and while he overcame the adversary of his contending by his invincible firmness, he led the way for victories for others, (in the year 280.) Likewise the holy martyrs Laurentinus, (these martyrs mentioned by Cyprian, Letter 34,) and Ignatius, his father's and mother's brothers, and Celerina his grandmother, who had before him been crowned with martyrdom, to the glorious praises of all whom there remaineth to witness an epistle of blessed Cyprian.

    Likewise in Africa, the holy martyrs Felix, Symphronius, Hippolytus, and their Companions, (in the year 270.)

    In the town of Gap, (in the second century,) the holy Bishops Tigides and Remedius.

    At Lyon, (about the year 486,) holy Lupicinus and Felix, Bishops of that see.

    On the same day, (in the year 865,) holy Anschar, Bishop of Bremen, who brought the Swedes and the Danes to believe in Christ.
