    Assúmptio sanctíssimæ Dei Genitrícis Vírginis Maríæ.

    Cracóviæ, in Polónia, natális sancti Hyacínthi, ex Ordine Prædicatórum, Confessóris, quem Clemens Octávus, Póntifex Máximus, in Sanctórum númerum rétulit. Ipsíus autem festum sextodécimo Kaléndas Septémbris celebrátur.

    Apud Albam Regálem, in Pannónia, item natális sancti Stéphani, Regis Hungarórum et Confessóris; qui, divínis virtútibus exornátus, primus Húngaros ad Christi fidem convértit, et a Deípara Vírgine, ipso die Assumptiónis suæ, in cælum recéptus fuit. Ejus vero festívitas quarto Nonas Septémbris, quo die munitíssima Budæ arx, sancti Regis ope, ab exércitu Christiáno strénue recuperáta fuit, potíssimum recólitur, ex dispositióne Innocéntii Papæ Undécimi.

    Romæ, via Appia, sancti Tharsícii Acolythi, quem Pagáni, cum inveníssent Córporis Christi Sacraménta portántem, cœpérunt disquírere quid géreret. At ipse, indígnum júdicans porcis pródere margarítas, támdiu ab illis mactátus est fústibus et lapídibus, donec exhaláret spíritum; et, revolúto ejus córpore, sacrílegi discussóres nihil Sacramentorum Christi in occísi mánibus aut in vestibus invenerunt. Christiáni autem collegerunt Mártyris corpus, et in cœmetério Callísti honorífice sepeliérunt.

    Tagáste, in Africa, sancti Alípii Epíscopi, qui beáti Augustíni olim discípulus, póstea in conversióne sócius, in múnere pastoráli colléga, et in certamínibus advérsus hæréticos commílito strénuus, ac demum in cælésti glória consors fuit.

    Suessíone, in Gálliis, sancti Arnúlphi, Epíscopi et Confessóris.

    Romæ sancti Stanislái Kostka; Polóni, novítii e Societáte Jesu et Confessóris; qui, consummátus in brevi, per angélicam vitæ innocéntiam explévit témpora multa, et a Benedícto Décimo tértio, Pontífice Máximo, in Sanctórum album relátus est.

    At Rome, upon the Appian Way, [under the Emperors Valerian and Gallienus,] the holy Acolyte Tharsicius.

    The pagans found him bearing the Sacraments of the Body of Christ, and began to ask him what he was carrying, but he deemed it unseemly to produce pearls before swine, and they maltreated him so with sticks and stones that he gave up the ghost. When they sacrilegiously searched his body, they did not find any trace of the Sacraments of Christ either in his hands or among his clothes, but the Christians took up the body of the martyr and buried it honourably in the cemetery of Callistus.

    At Tagaste, in Africa, [in the year 431,] the holy [Confessor] Alypius, Bishop [of that see,] first the disciple of blessed Augustine, then his companion in his conversion, his comrade in his work as a shepherd of souls, his brave fellow-soldier in his contendings against the heretics, and now a sharer in his glory in heaven.

    At Soissons, in Gaul, [in the year 1087,] the holy Confessor Arnulf, Bishop [of that see.]

    At Alba, in Pannonia, in the year 1038,] holy Stephen, King of Hungary, whose feast is kept upon the 2nd day of September.

    At Rome, [in the year 1568,] the holy Polish Confessor Stanislaus Kostka, of the Society of Jesus, who was made perfect in a little while and finished the work of many years in angelic innocency of life, and whose name the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XIII enrolled among those of the Saints.
