    Sanctæ Hedwígis Víduæ, Polonórum Ducíssæ, quæ prídie hujus diéi obdormívit in Dómino.

    In monastério Dervénsi, in Gállia, sancti Berchárii, Abbátis et Mártyris.

    In Africa sanctórum Mártyrum ducentórum septuagínta, páriter coronatórum.

    Ibídem sanctórum Martiniáni et Saturiáni, cum duóbus eórum frátribus; qui, témpore Wandálicæ persecutiónis, sub Rege Ariáno Genseríco, cum servi essent cujúsdam Wándali, et a sancta Máxima Vírgine, ipsórum consérva, ad Christi fidem convérsi fuíssent, omnes ab hærético illórum dómino, pro constántia fídei cathólicæ, primum nodósis fústibus cæsi sunt et usque ad ossa laniáti. Sed, cum talia multo témpore pateréntur, et sequénti die nihilóminus redderéntur semper incólumes, exsílio tandem relegántur; ubi, cum multos barbarórum ad Christi convertíssent fidem, et a Románo Pontífice Presbýterum aliósque minístros, qui eos baptizárent, obtinuíssent, novíssime, vinctis pédibus post terga curréntium quadrigárum, inter spinósa loca silvárum jussi sunt páriter interíre. Máxima vero, post multos superátos agónes divínitus liberáta, in monastério, multárum Vírginum Mater, sancto fine quiévit.

    Item sanctórum Saturníni, Nérei et aliórum trecentórum sexagínta quinque Mártyrum.

    Colóniæ Agrippínæ sancti Elíphii Mártyris, sub Juliáno Apóstata.

    In território Bituricénsi sancti Ambrósii, Epíscopi Caturcénsis.

    Mogúntiæ sancti Lulli, Epíscopi et Confessóris.

    Tréviris sancti Florentíni Epíscopi.

    Apud Arbónam, in Germánia, sancti Galli Abbátis, qui fuit discípulus beáti Columbáni.

    Muri, in Lucánia, sancti Gerárdi Majélla Confessóris, Láici proféssi Congregatiónis a sanctíssimo Redemptóre nuncupátæ, quem, miráculis clarum, Pius Décimus, Póntifex Máximus, Sanctórum albo accénsuit.

    In Africa, two hundred and seventy holy martyrs, all crowned alike.

    There also the holy martyrs Martinian and Saturian, and two of their brethren. They were slaves of a certain Vandal, and were brought to believe in Christ by the holy Virgin Maxima, who was their fellow-slave.

    In the persecution under the Arian king, Genseric, on account of their steadfastness in the Catholic faith, they were first beaten to the very bone with knotty cudgels, but for as much as they were so treated of a long while, and were always found sound and well the next day, they were banished. In their banishment they turned many barbarians to believe in Christ, and obtained from the Roman Pontiff a priest and other ministers to baptize them wherefore at last they were dragged to death through thorny places in the woods, being fastened by the feet behind chariots. Maxima overcame in many contendings,

    but God set her at liberty, and she became the mother of many virgins in a monastery, and fell asleep in an holy death.

    Likewise the holy martyrs Saturninus, Nereus, and three hundred and sixty-five others.

    At Cologne, under the Emperor Julian the Apostate, the holy martyr Eliphius.

    Likewise, (in the seventh century,) the holy martyr Berchar, Abbot (of Montier-en-Der.)

    In the country of Bourges, (in the eighth century,) holy Ambrose, Bishop of Cahors.

    At Mainz, (in the year 787,) the holy Confessor Lullus, Bishop (of that see.)

    At Trier, holy Florence, Bishop (of that see.)

    At Arbon, in Switzerland, (in the seventh century,) the holy Abbot Gall, a disciple of blessed Columbanus.
