    Octáva Nativitátis beátæ Maríæ Vírginis.

    Festum Septem Dolórum ejúsdem beatíssimæ Vírginis Maríæ.

    Romæ, via Nomentána, natális beáti Nicomédis, Presbýteri et Mártyris, qui, cum díceret compelléntibus se sacrificáre: « Ego non sacrífico nisi Deo omnipoténti, qui regnat in cælis », plumbátis diutíssime cæsus est, atque in eo torménto migrávit ad Dóminum.

    Córdubæ, in Hispánia, sanctórum Mártyrum Emilæ Diáconi, et Jeremíæ, qui, in persecutióne Arábica, post longam cárceris maceratiónem, demum, cervícibus pro Christo abscíssis, martýrium complevérunt.

    In território Cabillonénsi sancti Valeriáni Mártyris, quem Priscus Præses, suspénsum et gravi ungulárum laceratióne cruciátum, tandem, cum in Christi confessióne vidéret immóbilem ac læto ánimo in ejus láudibus permanéntem, gládio animadvérti præcépit.

    Hadrianópoli, in Thrácia, sanctórum Mártyrum Máximi, Theodóri et Asclepiódoti; qui sub Maximiáno Imperatóre coronáti sunt.

    Item sancti Porphýrii mimi, qui, coram Juliáno Apóstata, per jocum suscípiens baptísmum, Dei virtúte derepénte mutátur, et Christiánum se esse profitétur; ac mox, ipsíus Imperatóris mandáto secúri percússus, martýrio coronátur.

    Eódem die sancti Nicétæ Gothi, qui ab Athanaríco Rege, ob cathólicam fidem, jussus est igne combúri.

    Marcianópoli, in Thrácia, sanctæ Melitínæ Mártyris, quæ, sub Antoníno Imperatóre et Antíocho Prǽside, cum ad Gentílium fana semel et íterum ducta esset, atque idóla semper corruérent, ídeo suspénsa et laniáta est, ac demum cápite plexa.

    Tulli, in Gállia, sancti Apri Epíscopi.

    Item sancti Leobíni, Epíscopi Carnuténsis.

    Lugdúni, in Gállia, sancti Albíni Epíscopi.

    Eódem die deposítio sancti Aichárdi Abbátis.

    In Gállia sanctæ Eutrópiæ Víduæ.

    Génuæ sanctæ Catharínæ Víduæ, contémptu mundi et caritáte in Deum insígnis.

    At Rome, upon the Nomentan Way, (in the first century,) the holy martyr Nicomede the Priest. Unto them that would have forced him to offer sacrifice he said, " I do not sacrifice, save unto the Almighty God, Who reigneth in the heavens," and he was beaten with scourges loaded with lead until at last he passed away to be ever with the Lord.

    In the country of Chalons, (in the second century,) the holy martyr Valerian. The President Priscus caused him to be hung up and tormented by mangling with metal hooks, but when he saw that he could not be shaken in his confession of Christ, but continued the rather to praise Him with a glad heart, he commanded to slay him with the sword.

    At Marcianopolis, in Thrace, the holy martyr Melitina. Under the Emperor Antonine and the President Antiochus, she was twice brought to the temples of the Gentiles, but as the idols continually fell down, she was hung up and mangled, and at last beheaded.

    At Adrianople, the holy martyrs Maximus, Theodore, and Asclepiodotus, who were crowned under the Emperor Maximian.

    Also holy Porphyry, a jester who received baptism as a farce in the presence of the Emperor Julian the Apostate, and was thereupon suddenly changed by the power of God, so that he professed himself to be a Christian, and by command of the Emperor received martyrdom by the axe.
