Nazarius, a beato Lino papa baptizatus, cum in Gálliam profectus esset, ibi Celsum púerum, a
se christiánis præceptis prius instructum, baptizávit. Qui una Trévirim euntes, Nerónis
persecutióne, in mare uterque dejícitur, unde mirabíliter evasérunt. Postea Mediolanum
veniéntes, cum ibi Christi fidem disseminárent, ab Anolino præfecto, constantíssime Christum
Deum confiténtes, cápite plectúntur: quorum córpora extra portam Romanam sepúlta sunt. Quæ
cum diu latuíssent, Dei mónitu a beato Ambrosio conspersa recénti sánguine sunt invénta,
tamquam si paulo ante martyrium passi essent; unde, in urbem translata, honorifico sepúlcro
contecta sunt.

Nazarius was baptized by the blessed Pope Linus, and afterwards went to Gaul. There he met
with the boy Celsus, whom he instructed in the Christian law, and baptized. They went
together to Trier, and, in the persecution under Nero, were both thrown into the sea, from
which they had a marvellous escape. Later on, they came to Milan, where they spread the
Faith of Christ, and as they remained firm in declaring that He is God, the Prefect Anolinus
had them beheaded. Their bodies were buried outside the Roman gate, and lay long unknown,
till, by a revelation from God, Blessed Ambrose found them, smeared with fresh blood, as
though they had only a short time undergone martyrdom. They were taken up from thence,
carried into the city, and laid in an honourable sepulchre.

Victor in Africa natus, Sevéro imperatóre rexit Ecclésiam. Confirmávit decretum Pii primi,
ut sacrum Pascha die Dominico celebrarétur: qui ritus ut póstea in mores inducerétur, habita
sunt multis in locis concília; et in Nicæna dénique prima synodo sancítum est, ut Paschæ dies
festus post quartam décimam lunam agerétur, ne Christiáni Judæos imitari videréntur. Státuit
ut quavis aqua, modo naturali, si necessitas cógeret, quicúmque baptizari posset. Theódotum
Coriárium Byzantinum, docéntem Christum tantummodo hóminem fuísse, ejécit ex Ecclésia.
Scripsit de quæstióne Paschæ et alia quædam opúscula. Creávit duabus ordinatiónibus, mense
Decembri, presbyteros quatuor, diaconos septem, episcopos per diversa loca duodecim.
Martyrio coronátus, sepelítur in Vaticano, quinto Kalendas Augusti. Sedit annos novem,
mensem unum, dies viginti octo.

Victor was by birth an African, and governed the Church in the time of the Emperor Severus.
He confirmed the decree of Pius I that the Holy Passover should be kept upon the Lord's Day.
To bring this rule into use, Councils were held in many places, and in the First Synod of
Nice it was decided that the Holy Passover Day should be kept after the 14th day of the
month (Nisan), lest the Christians should seem to be copying the Jews. Victor decided that
if need be, baptism can be administered with any water, as long as it be natural. He cast
out of the Church Theodotus the tanner, of Constantinople, who taught that Christ was
nothing but a man. He wrote upon the subject of the Passover, and some other small works. He
held two Ordinations in the month of December, wherein he ordained four Priests, seven
Deacons, and twelve Bishops for diverse places. He received the crown of his testimony, and
was buried at the Vatican on the 28th day of July. He sat in the throne of Peter nine years,
one month, and twenty-eight days.

Innocentius Albanénsis, sancti Hierónymi et Augustíni ætate flóruit. De quo ille ad
Demetríadem vírginem: Sancti Innocentii, qui apostolicæ cathedræ et beátæ memóriæ Anastasii
successor et fílius est, teneas fidem nec peregrinam, quamvis tibi prudens callídaque
videaris, doctrinam recipias. Eum, tamquam justum Lot subtractum Dei providéntia, ad
Ravennam servátum fuísse, scribit Orósius, ne Romani pópuli vidéret excidium. Is, Pelagio et
Cælestio damnatis, contra eórum hæresim decretum fecit, ut párvuli, ex christiana étiam
mulíere nati, per baptismum renasci debérent; ut in eis regeneratióne mundétur, quod
generatióne contraxérunt. Probávit etiam, ut Sábbato, ob memóriam Christi Dómini sepultúræ
jejunium servarétur. Sedit annos quíndecim, mensem unum, dies decem. Quatuor ordinatiónibus,
mense Decembri, creávit presbyteros trigínta, diaconos quíndecim, episcopos per diversa loca
quinquagínta quatuor. Sepultus est in cœmeterio ad Ursum pileátum.

Innocent of Albano flourished in the time of St. Jerome and St. Augustine. Concerning him,
St. Jerome saith, writing to Demetrias: Keep firm hold on the faith of holy Innocent, who is
the heir and the child of the Apostolic See, and of Anastasius of blessed memory, and receive
not any strange doctrine, how wise and acute soever thou mayest count thyself. Orosius
writeth that God kept Innocent at Ravenna that he might not see the destruction of the Roman
people, even as righteous Lot was withdrawn by God's Providence. He condemned Pelagius and
Caelestius, and made a decree against their heresy, that little children, even those whose
mother was a Christian, must be born again in baptism, that the new birth may wash away in
them the stain which they have contracted in their conception. He approved also that a Fast
should be kept upon Saturday in memory of the Lord Christ's lying in the grave on that day.
He sat in the throne of Peter fifteen years, one month, and ten days. He held four
Ordinations in the month of December, and made therein thirty Priests, fifteen Deacons, and
forty-four Bishops for diverse places. He was buried in the Bear-and-Cap Cemetery.

Pantáleon Nicomediénsis, nobilis médicus, ab Hermoláo presbytero in Jesu Christi fide
eruditus, baptizátus est. Qui mox patri Eustorgio persuasit, ut Christianus fieret. Quare,
cum Nicomedíæ póstea Christi Dómini fidem líbere prædicaret, et ad ejus doctrinam omnes
cohortarétur, Diocletiáno imperatóre, equuleo tortus, et, admotis ad ejus corpus láminis
candéntibus, cruciátus est. Quam tormentórum vim æquo et forti animo ferens, ad extremum
gládio percússus, martyrii corónam adeptus est.

This Pantaleon was of a noble family of Nicomedia, and was a physician by trade. Hermolaus
the Priest taught him well the faith of Jesus Christ, and he was baptized. A little while
after, he persuaded his father Eustorgius to become a Christian. He afterwards duly preached
the Faith of the Lord Christ at Nicomedia, and exhorted all to embrace His doctrine. For this
he was tortured under the Emperor Diocletian, first on the rack, and then by putting red-hot
metal to his body. He bore all the bitterness of his torments with a quiet and brave heart,
and at last received the stroke of the sword, and grasped the crown of martyrdom.

Praxédes, virgo Romana, Pudentiánæ vírginis soror, Marco Antonino imperatóre Christiános
persequente, eos facultátibus, opera, consolatióne, et omni caritátis officio prosequebátur.
Nam alios domi occultábat; alios ad fidei constantiam hortabátur: aliórum córpora sepeliebat;
iis, qui in carcere inclusi erant, qui in ergástulis exercebántur, nulla re déerat. Quæ, cum
tantam Christianórum stragem jam ferre non posset, Deum precáta est, ut, si mori expediret,
se e tantis malis eríperet. Itaque duodecimo Kalendas Augusti ad pietátis præmia vocátur in
cælum. Cujus corpus a Pastore presbytero in patris et sororis Pudentiánæ sepúlcrum illátum
est, quod erat in cœmeterio Priscillæ, via Salaria.

This Praxedes was a maiden of Rome, and the sister of the maiden Pudentiana. When the
Emperor Marcus Antoninus was hunting down the Christians, she followed them constantly with
money, labour, comfort, and every helpful office of Christian charity. Some she hid in her
house, some she exhorted to firmness in professing the faith, of some she buried the bodies.
For them that were in prison, and them that were toiling in slavery, she supplied every need.
At last the sight of such butchery of Christians was more than she could bear, and she
implored God that if it were expedient for her to die, He would release her from such
suffering. And so upon the 21st day of July she was called away to receive the reward of her
godly conversation in heaven. Pastor the Priest laid her body in the grave of her father
(Pudens) and her sister Pudentiana, which was in the cemetery of Priscilla, upon the Salarian
Way.
