    Cátanæ, in Sicília, natális sanctæ Agáthæ, Vírginis et Mártyris; quæ, tempóribus Décii Imperatóris, sub Quinctiáno Júdice, post álapas et cárcerem, post equúleum et torsiónes, post mamillárum abscissiónem, post volutatiónem in téstulis et carbónibus, tandem in cárcere, Deum precans, consummáta est.

    Nangasáchii, in Japónia, pássio vigínti sex Mártyrum, e quibus tres Sacerdótes atque unus Cléricus et duo Láici ad Ordinem Minórum, tres, et in eis unus quidem Cléricus, ad Societátem Jesu, ac septémdecim ad tértium sancti Francísci Ordinem revocántur. Hi omnes pro cathólica fide, in crucem acti et lanceárum íctibus perfóssi, inter divínas laudes ejusdémque fídei prædicatiónem, glorióse occubuérunt; et a Pio nono, Pontífice Máximo, Sanctórum fastis adscrípti sunt.

    In Ponto commemorátio plurimórum sanctórum Mártyrum, in persecutióne Maximiáni; quorum álii plumbo liquénti perfúsi, álii acútis arundínibus in únguibus cruciáti, ac multis horréndis vexáti torméntis, iisdémque sǽpius iterátis, palmas a Dómino et corónas illústri passióne meruérunt.

    Alexandríæ sancti Isidóri, mílitis et Mártyris; qui, in persecutióne Décii, a Numeriáno, exércitus Duce, ob Christi fidem, cápite cæsus est.

    Viénnæ beáti Avíti, Epíscopi et Confessóris, cujus fide, indústria atque admirábili doctrína ab Ariánæ hǽresis infestatióne sunt Gálliæ defénsæ.

    Sabióne, in Rhǽtia secúnda, sancti Ingenuíni Epíscopi, cujus vita miráculis éxstitit gloriósa. Sacrum vero ipsíus corpus Brixinónem póstea translátum fuit, ibíque honorífice asservátum.

    Brixinóne sancti Albuíni Epíscopi, qui eam in civitátem e Sabióne Cáthedram Episcopálem tránstulit, et ibídem, virtútum signis émicans, migrávit ad Dóminum.

    At Catania, in Sicily, (in the year 251) the holy Virgin and martyr Agatha. In the time of the Emperor Decius, under the Judge Quinctian, she endured buffeting and imprisonment, racking and torments. Her breasts were cut off, and she was rolled upon potsherds and coals, and at last died in prison, in prayer to God.

    In Pontus, are commemorated very many holy martyrs in the persecution under the Emperor Maximian, (fourth century.) Some had molten lead poured upon them, some were tortured by having sharp reeds thrust under their nails, and were tormented with many most grievous sufferings, which were renewed again and again, and so by their illustrious passion earned palms and crowns from the Lord.

    At Alexandria, the holy martyr Isidore, who in the persecution under the Emperor Decius was beheaded by Numerian, chief of the army, for Christ's faith's sake.

    In the empire of Japan, [in the year 1597] twenty-six holy martyrs, [some Franciscans, some their pupils, and three Jesuits killed at Nagasaki,] who were crucified, and then died gloriously, transfixed with spears, while they were praising God and proclaiming His Gospel, whose names were enrolled among those of the saints by the supreme Pontiff Pius IX.

    At Vienne, (in Dauphinais,) the blessed Confessor Avitus, (in the year 525,) Bishop of that see, by whose faith, labour, and wonderful teaching Gaul was shielded against the Arian heresy.

    At Brixen, holy Genuinus, (or Ingenuinus, in the year 640,) Bishop (of Siben, in the Tyrol,) and Albinus, (in the year 1015,) Bishop [of Brixen,] whose lives were rendered glorious by miracles.
