+        Cornélius Romanus, Gallo et Volusiáno imperatóribus pontificátum gerens, cum Lucina, femina
+        sanctíssima, córpora Apostolórum Petri et Pauli e catacumbis in opportuniórem locum
+        tránstulit; ac Pauli corpus Lucina in suo prædio via Ostiénsi, prope eum locum, ubi fuerat
+        gládio percússus, collocávit; Cornélius Principis Apostolórum corpus non longe inde, ubi
+        crucifixus fuerat, repósuit. Quod cum ad imperatóres delátum esset, et Pontifice auctore
+        multos fíeri Christiános, mittitur is in exsílium ad Centumcellas; ubi eum sanctus Cyprianus,
+        epíscopus Carthaginiénsis, per litteras est consolatus.

+        Hoc autem christianæ caritátis offícium cum frequens alter alteri persólveret, deteriórem in
+        partem id accipiéntes imperatóres, accersítum Romam Cornelium tamquam de majestáte reum
+        plumbátis cædi, raptumque ad Martis simulacrum, ei sacrificáre jubent. Quam impietátem cum
+        ille detestarétur, ei caput abscissum est décimo octavo Kalendas Octobris. Cujus corpus
+        beáta Lucina, clericis adjutóribus, humávit in arenaria prædii sui prope cœmetérium Callísti.
+        Vixit in pontificatu annos circiter duos.

+        Cornelius was a Roman who held the Papacy during the reign of the Emperors Gallus and
+        Volusian. He, and that most holy Lady Lucina, took the bodies of the Apostles Peter and Paul
+        out of the Catacombs and put them in more convenient places. Lucina laid the body of Paul in
+        a farm of her own upon the road to Ostia, hard by the place where he had received the
+        sword-stroke. Cornelius placed that of the Prince of the Apostles hard by where he had been
+        crucified. When this was told to the Emperors, and likewise that Cornelius was the means of
+        making many Christians, he was banished to Civitavecchia, where Cyprian, the holy Bishop of
+        Carthage, comforted him by letters.
+
+
+        They continued thus to write often one to the other, till the Emperors took in bad part these
+        exchanges of Christian love, and sent for Cornelius to Rome. There they commanded him to be
+        lashed with scourges loaded with lead as though he were a traitor, and then to be carried to
+        offer sacrifice before the image of Mars. He firmly refused to commit this great wickedness,
+        and was forthwith beheaded, upon the 14th day of September. The blessed Lucina, with the help
+        of the clergy, buried his body in the sand-pit on her own farm, near the Cemetery of
+        Callistus. He lived as Pope about two years.

+        Cyprianus, Afer, primum gloriose rhetoricam docuit. Exinde, suadénte presbytero Cæcílio, a
+        quo et cognoméntum sortitus est, christianus factus, omnem substantiam suam paupéribus
+        erogávit. Ac post non multum témporis, eléctus in presbyterum, étiam epíscopus
+        Carthaginiénsis constitútus est. Hujus ingenii superfluum est indicem téxere, cum sole
+        clarióra sint ejus opera. Passus est sub Valeriáno et Gallieno princípibus, persecutióne
+        octava, eodem die quo Romæ Cornélius, sed non eodem anno.

+        Cyprian was an African. He was first distinguished as a teacher of Rhetoric. He afterwards
+        became a Christian at the persuasion of the Priest Caecilius, whose surname he took, and
+        parted all his goods among the poor. It was not long before he was chosen a Priest, and then
+        made Bishop of Carthage. It would be idle to enlarge upon his wit, seeing that his works are
+        as well known as the sun. He suffered under the Emperors Valerian and Gallienus, in the
+        eighth persecution, and upon the same day, though not in the same year, that Cornelius
+        testified at Rome.
