    Sancti Cyrílli, Epíscopi Alexandríni, Confessóris et Ecclésiæ Doctóris, cujus dies natális quinto Kaléndas Februárii recensétur.

    Alexandríæ natális sanctæ Apollóniæ, Vírginis et Mártyris, cui persecutóres, sub Décio, dentes omnes primum excussérunt. Deínde, constrúcto ac succénso rogo, iídem commináti sunt, nisi cum eis ímpia verba proférret, vivam se eam incensúros; at illa, cum páululum intra semetípsam deliberásset, repénte se de mánibus impiórum prorípuit, et in ignem, quem paráverant, majóre Sancti Spíritus flamma intus ǽstuans, sponte ita prosilívit, ut perterreréntur étiam ipsi crudelitátis auctóres, quod prómptior invénta esset ad mortem fémina quam persecútor ad pœnam.

    Romæ pássio sanctórum Mártyrum Alexándri et aliórum trigínta octo coronatórum.

    In castéllo Lemelénsi, in Africa, sanctórum Mártyrum Primi et Donáti Diaconórum, qui, cum altáre in Ecclésia tutaréntur, a Donatístis occísi sunt.

    Solis, in Cypro, sanctórum Mártyrum Ammónii et Alexándri.

    Antiochíæ sancti Nicéphori Mártyris, qui sub Valeriáno Imperatóre, cápite cæsus, martýrii corónam accépit.

    In monastério Fontanéllæ, in Gállia, sancti Ansbérti, Rotomagénsis Epíscopi.

    Canúsii, in Apúlia, sancti Sabíni, Epíscopi et Confessóris; qui (ut beátus Gregórius Papa refert), prophétiæ spíritu ac miraculórum dono prǽditus, sibi jam cæco exhíbitum a fámulo, prǽmiis corrúpto, venéni póculum divíno agnóvit instinctu, sed, prænuntiáta mox a Deo suménda de corruptóre vindícta signóque Crucis facto, venénum secúrus ébibit ac nullum ex eo nocuméntum accépit.

    At Alexandria, [in the year 249,] the holy Virgin Apollonia. The persecutors under the Emperor Decius first beat out all her teeth, then they built and kindled a funeral fire and threatened to burn her alive upon it unless she would join them in uttering sinful words. She thought a little while within herself, and then the fire of the Holy Ghost flaming up within her, she tore herself suddenly out of the hands of those wicked men and leapt of her own accord into the fire which they had made ready, so that the very actors in this cruelty were awestruck to find a woman more ready to die than were they to kill her.

    At Rome, the holy martyrs Alexander, and thirty-eight others who were crowned at the same time.

    At Solis, in Cyprus, the holy martyrs Ammonius and Alexander.

    At Antioch, [in the year 260,] the holy martyr Nicephorus, who received his crown by being beheaded, under the Emperor Valerian.

    In Africa, in the castle of Lemele, the holy Deacons Primus and Donates, who suffered martyrdom in defending the altar in the church against the Donatists, [sixth century.]

    In the monastery of Fontenelle, holy Ausbert, Bishop of Rouen, [in the year 695.]

    At Canosa, in Apulia, the holy Confessor Sabinus, Bishop of that see, [in the year 566.]
