+# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for Ss. Basilides, Cyrinus, Nabor, and
+# Nazarius, Martyrs (June 12) — pre-1955-but-post-1617. Plain
+# Sancti/06-12.txt is a different, later saint (St. John of San Facundo,
+# canonized 1690) who displaced these martyrs on the general calendar's
+# own June 12 slot; their content survives at the suffixed sibling file
+# (see memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints's "critical wrinkle").
+# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/06-12o.txt, English/Sancti/06-12o.txt.
+# Single lesson (simplex-feast Lectio93), no responsory in the source.
+# English source text cuts off mid-sentence ("but, as the creatures
+# would not touch them," then straight to &teDeum) — the final clause
+# below completes the sentence following the Latin, so marked draft
+# rather than verified for English.

+        commotus Marcellus custodiæ præpositus, multique alii, Christo Domino crediderunt. Verum
+        postea e carcere emissi, ab imperatore Maximiano, cum ejus étiam neglecto imperio, unum
+        Christum Deum et Dominum in ore haberent, scorpionibus cruciati iterum conjiciuntur in
+        vincula: unde septimo die educti, et ante pedes imperatoris constituti, perstiterunt in
+        irrisione inanium deorum, Jesum Christum Deum constantissime confitentes. Quam ob rem

+        Basilides, Cyrinus, Nabor, and Nazarius were Roman soldiers, of illustrious birth, and
+        distinguished gallantry. Having embraced the Christian Religion, and being found publishing
+        that Christ was the Son of God, they were arrested by Aurelius, Prefect of Rome under the
+        Emperor Diocletian. As they despised his orders to sacrifice to the gods, they were
+        committed to prison. While they were at prayer there, a brilliant light broke forth before
+        the eyes of all that were there, and shone in all the prison. Marcellinus the keeper of the
+        prison and many others were moved by this heavenly glory to believe in the Lord Christ.
+        Basilides, Cyrinus, Nabor, and Nazarius were afterwards discharged out of the prison.
+        However, in the reign of the Emperor Maximian, when they set light by his commands also, and
+        had ever in their mouth that there is but one Christ, one God, and one Lord, they were
+        tormented with whips loaded with metal, and again cast into chains. Thence, on the seventh
+        day, they were brought out, and set before the Emperor, and there still persisted in mocking
+        at the foolish idols, and declaring that Jesus Christ is God. They were accordingly condemned
+        to death and beheaded. Their bodies were given to wild beasts to eat, but, as the creatures
+        would not touch them, they were reverently buried by the Christians.
