    Toléti, in Hispánia, deposítio beáti Juliáni, Epíscopi et Confessóris, sanctitáte et doctrína celebérrimi.

    At Antinoe, in Egypt, the holy martyrs Philemon and Apolonius the Deacon.

    At Carthage, holy Pontius, Deacon to blessed Bishop Cyprian, with whom he remained in exile even unto the day of his death, and hath left unto us an excellent book of his life and passion.
