All 9 of September's SanctiM-track saints authored -- the first full
month in this pass with nothing left unsourced. Includes the
Dedication of St. Michael the Archangel, whose SanctiM file borrows
structure from his separate May 8 Apparition file but still resolves
its actual readings back to this day's own Tridentine content.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for Ss. Cosmas and Damian, Martyrs (Sep 27)
# — SanctiM/09-27.txt inherits the whole day (`@Sancti/09-27`) with no
# Nocturn 2/3 override, so this feast's own proper content is sourced
# from the Tridentine track exactly as for a pre-1955 saint (see
# memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints, vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/09-27.txt, English/Sancti/09-27.txt.
# Lectio4-5 combined into one reading, one continuous vita — Lectio6
# falls back to Common of Several Martyrs, not proper text, so not
# authored here. No responsory given in the source for Lectio4-5.

Cosmas et Damiánus, fratres Arabes, in Ægéa urbe nati, nóbiles médici, imperatóribus
Diocletiáno et Maximiáno, non magis medicínæ sciéntia quam Christi virtúte, morbis
étiam insanabílibus medebántur. Quorum religiónem cum Lysias præféctus cognovísset,
addúci eos ad se jubet, ac de vivéndi institúto et de fídei professióne interrogátos,
cum se et Christiános esse, et christiánam fidem esse ad salútem necessáriam, líbere
prædicárent, deos venerári ímperat; et, si id recúsent, minátur cruciátus et necem
acerbíssimam.
Verum, ut se frustra hæc illis propónere intélligit: Colligáte, inquit, manus et
pedes istórum, eósque exquisítis torquéte supplíciis. Quibus jussa exsequéntibus,
nihilóminus Cosmas et Damiánus in senténtia persistébant. Quare, ut erant vincti, in
profúndum mare jaciúntur. Unde cum salvi ac solúti essent egréssi, mágicis ártibus
præféctus factum assígnans, in cárcerem tradit, ac postrídie edúctos in ardéntem
rogum ínjici jubet; ubi, cum ab ipsis flamma refúgeret, várie et crudéliter tortos
secúri pércuti vóluit. Itaque, in Jesu Christi confessióne, martýrii palmam
accepérunt.

Cosmas and Damian, who were eminent physicians in the time of the Emperors Diocletian
and Maximian, were brothers, and Arabs by race, but born in the city of Aegae. Not more
by their knowledge of medicine than by the power of Christ they healed diseases which
had been hopeless for others. When the Praefect Lysias learnt to what faith they
belonged, he commanded them to be brought before him, and questioned them as to their
way of life, and the confession of their religion; and then, forasmuch as they freely
owned themselves Christians and the Christian faith needful to salvation, he commanded
them to worship the gods, under threats of torments and a most cruel death.
He bond their hands and feet together, and put them to the sharpest of the question.
And he was obeyed, but nevertheless Cosmas and Damian abode still of the same mind.
Therefore they were cast into the depth of the sea, bound as they were, but they came
forth again, whole and unbound. The Praefect, therefore, who would have it that it came
to pass so by force of art magic, cast them into prison. On the morrow he haled them
forth again, and bade cast them upon a great fire, but the flame turned away from them.
He was pleased then to have them tormented in diverse and cruel sorts, and lastly,
smitten with the axe. Thus did they bear witness for Christ Jesus even until they
grasped the palm of their testimony.
