    Romæ, in suburbáno, beáti Victoríni, Epíscopi et Mártyris; qui, sanctitáte et miráculis clarus, sacerdótium Amiternínæ urbis, totíus pópuli electióne, adéptus est. Póstmodum, sub Nerva Trajáno, apud Cutílias, ubi puténtes et sulphúreæ emánant aquæ, cum áliis Dei servis, relegátus, ab Aureliáno Júdice jussus est suspéndi cápite deórsum; idque cum per tríduum pro nómine Christi passus fuísset, tandem, glorióse coronátus, victor migrávit ad Dóminum. Ejus corpus rapuérunt Christiáni, et honorífica sepultúra Amitérni, in Vestínis, condidérunt.

    Constantinópoli sanctórum Mártyrum Urbáni, Theodóri, Menedémi, et Sociórum septuagínta septem ex órdine ecclesiástico; qui a Valénte Imperatóre, pro fide cathólica, in navígio impósiti, jussi sunt in mari combúri.

    In Portu Románo pássio sancti Herculáni mílitis, qui, sub Gallo Imperatóre, ob Christi fidem cæsus flagris et cápite obtruncátus est.

    Cápuæ sanctórum Mártyrum Quínctii, Arcóntii et Donáti.

    Eódem die sancti Rómuli, qui, cum esset Trajáni aulæ prefectus ac sævítiam Imperatóris in Christiános detestarétur, cæsus est virgis, et cápite truncátus.

    Melitínæ, in Arménia, pássio sanctórum mílitum Eudóxii, Zenónis, Macárii, et Sociórum mille centum et quátuor; qui, cum abjecíssent milítiæ cíngulum, in persecutióne Diocletiáni, pro Christi confessióne necáti sunt.

    At Rome, in the suburb, the blessed martyr Victorinus, Bishop of Amiternum, (now called after him San Vittorino.) He was famous for holiness and miracles, and was chosen to the see of that city by the voice of all the people thereof. Afterwards, under Nerva-Trajan, he was sent, along with other servants of God, to Cutilia, where there is a pool of stinking sulphurous waters, and where the judge Aurelian ordered him to be hung up with his head downwards this torment he suffered for the space of three days, for Christ's name's sake, and then departed in triumph, gloriously crowned to be ever with the Lord. The Christians carried off his hody, and buried it honourably at Amiternum.
