    Tarásci, in Gállia Narbonénsi, sanctæ Marthæ Vírginis, hóspitæ Salvatóris nostri ac soróris beatórum Maríæ Magdalénæ et Lázari.

    Romæ, via Aurélia, sancti Felícis Secúndi, Papæ et Mártyris; qui, ab Ariáno Imperatóre Constántio, ob cathólicæ fídei defensiónem, e sede sua dejéctus, et Ceræ, in Túscia, occúlte gládio necátus, glorióse occúbuit. Ejus corpus, inde a Cléricis raptum, eádem via sepúltum fuit; póstea vero, ad Ecclésiam sanctórum Cosmæ et Damiáni delátum, ibídem, Gregório Décimo tértio Summo Pontífice, repértum est sub altári, una cum relíquiis sanctórum Mártyrum Marci, Marcelliáni et Tranquillíni, atque in eódem loco, prídie Kaléndas Augústi, simul cum eis recónditum. In quo étiam altári invénta fuérunt córpora sanctórum Mártyrum Abúndii Presbýteri, et Abundántii Diáconi; quæ, non multo post, ad Ecclésiam Societátis Jesu solémniter transláta sunt prídie natális eórum.

    Item Romæ, via Portuénsi, sanctórum Mártyrum Felícis, Simplícii, Faustíni et Beatrícis, tempóribus Diocletiáni Imperatóris. Horum duo primi, post multa et divérsa supplícia, jussi sunt capitálem subíre senténtiam; Beátrix vero, eórum soror, in confessióne Christi est in cárcere præfocáta.

    Romæ prætérea sanctórum Mártyrum Lucíllæ et Floræ Vírginum, Eugénii, Antoníni, Theodóri, et Sociórum decem et octo; qui sub Galliéno Imperatóre martýrium obiérunt.

    Item Romæ sanctæ Serápiæ Vírginis, quæ, sub Hadriáno Príncipe, cum esset trádita duóbus lascívis juvénibus et mínime potuísset illúdi, nec póstmodum ardéntibus fácibus inflammári, Derílli Júdicis jussu fústibus cæsa est, dehinc gládio decolláta. Ejus corpus a beáta Sabína in suo monuménto, juxta áream Vindiciáni, sepúltum est; sed memória ipsíus martýrii tértio Nonas Septémbris celébrior habétur, quo die ambárum sarcóphagum ibi compósitum et ornátum fuit, et locus oratiónis condígne dicátus.

    Gangris, in Paphlagónia, sancti Calliníci Mártyris, qui, virgis férreis verberátus aliísque supplíciis afflíctus, tandem, in fornácem injéctus, spíritum Deo réddidit.

    In Norvégia sancti Olávi, Regis et Mártyris.

    Trecis, in Gállia, sancti Lupi, Epíscopi et Confessóris; qui, cum beáto Germáno, ad expugnándam Pelagianórum hǽresim, in Británniam perréxit, urbémque Trecas a furóre Attilæ, Gálliam omnem devastántis, assídua oratióne deféndit; demum, quinquagínta duóbus annis sacerdótio venerabíliter functus, in pace quiévit.

    In civitáte Briocénsi, in Gállia, sancti Guliélmi, Epíscopi et Confessóris.

    Item deposítio beáti Prósperi, Aurelianénsis Epíscopi.

    Apud Tudértum, in Umbria, sancti Faustíni Confessóris.

    In civitáte Mamiénsi sanctæ Seraphínæ.

    Romæ beáti Urbáni Papæ Secúndi, qui, sancti Gregórii Séptimi vestígia secútus, doctrínæ et religiónis stúdio enítuit, et fidéles Cruce signátos ad sacra Palæstínæ loca ex infidélium domínio rediménda excitávit. Cultum autem, ab immemorábili témpore eídem exhíbitum, Leo Décimus tértius, Póntifex Máximus, ratum hábuit et confirmávit.

    At Tarascon, in Gaul, the holy Virgin Martha, the hostess of our Saviour, and the sister of blessed Mary Magdalene and of holy Lazarus.

    On the same day is commemorated at Rome, upon the Aurelian Way, the holy martyr Pope Felix II, who was expelled from his See by the Arian Emperor Constantius because of his defense of the Catholic faith, and who fell gloriously, secretly murdered with the sword, at Cera, in Tuscany. [Concerning Felix there has been much dispute. The Missal and Breviary, by suppressing the title of Pope or Bishop (always given in such cases), seem to confirm the view now generally adopted by historians, viz., that he was an African martyr, who suffered on November 10, and whose relics were brought to Rome on July 29 but the Martyrology retains another theory, now generally rejected, which identifies this Saint with one Felix, intruded into the See of Rome by Constantius during the Pontificate of Liberius, and now commonly regarded as an Anti-Pope of very dubious orthodoxy.] His body was brought thence by clerks and buried upon the aforesaid Way, whence it was afterwards taken to the church of SS. Cosmas and Damian, where it was found under the altar in the time of the Supreme Pontiff Gregory XIII, along with the relics of the holy martyrs Mark, Marcellian, and Tranquillinus, along with which it was again buried in the same spot upon the last day of July.

    Under the same altar were also found the bodies of the holy martyrs Abundius the Priest and Abundantius the Deacon, which not long after were solemnly taken to the church of the Society of Jesus, upon the eve of their birthday into the better life.

    At Rome, on the Way to Porto, in the time of the Emperor Diocletian, the holy martyrs Simplicius, Faustinus, and Beatrix. Simplicius and Faustinus were beheaded, after many and diverse torments, and their sister Beatrix was strangled in prison, for confessing Christ.

    Likewise at Rome, the holy martyrs the Virgins Lucilla and Flora, Eugene, Antonine, Theodore, and eighteen others their Companions, who suffered martyrdom under the Emperor Gallienus.

    At Gangra, in Paphlagonia, the holy martyr Callinicus, who was first beaten with iron rods and tormented in other and diverse ways, and at length cast into a furnace, and so resigned his spirit to God.

    In Norway, [in the year 1030,] the holy martyr King Olaf II.

    At Troyes, in Gaul, [in the fifth century,] the holy Confessor Lupus, Bishop [of that See,] who went into Britain along with blessed German to rid that country of the Pelagian heresy, and who by his unceasing prayers delivered the city of Troyes from the fury of Attila when he was wasting all Gaul, and at length fell asleep in peace, after having performed the office of the Priesthood with worship for two and fifty years.

    At St. Brieuc, [in the year 1237,] the holy Confessor William, Bishop [of that see.]

    On the same day deceased also blessed Prosper, Bishop of Orléans, [in the fifth century.]

    At Todi, [in the third century,] the holy Confessor Faustinus.

    At Mamia, in Galicia, [in the fifth century,] the holy [Virgin] Seraphina.
