# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for Ss. Marcellinus, Peter, and Erasmus,
# Martyrs (Jun 2) — SanctiM/06-02.txt inherits the whole day
# (`@Sancti/06-02`) 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). A second SanctiM variant
# (`SanctiM/06-02M.txt`) narrows this to Marcellinus and Peter alone,
# the same "Monastic office narrows a joint feast" pattern already
# seen for `ss-vincent-and-anastasius.yml`, `ss-cletus-and-marcellinus.yml`,
# and `ss-alexander-eventius-theodulus-and-juvenal.yml` — the full
# three-martyr text is used here per vu-prefer-text-over-missing.
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/06-02.txt, English/Sancti/06-02.txt.
# Single lesson (simplex-feast Lectio93), one continuous account
# covering Marcellinus and Peter together, then Erasmus, no genuine
# internal break (both stories told in immediate succession in the
# source). No responsory given in the source.

        Petrus exorcísta, Diocletiáno imperatóre, Romæ a Seréno júdice propter christiánæ fídei
        confessiónem missus in cárcerem, Paulínam Artémii, qui cárceri præerat, filiam a dæmone
        agitátam liberávit. Quo facto et paréntes puéllæ cum tota família, et vicínos qui ad rei
        novitátem concúrrerant, Jesu Christo conciliátos ad Marcellínum presbyterum addúxit, a
        quo omnes baptizáti sunt. Quod ubi rescívit Serénus, Petrum et Marcellínum ad se vocátos
        aspérius objúrgat, et ad verbórum acerbitátem minas ac terróres adjúngit, nisi Christo
        renúntient. Cui cum Marcellínus christiána libertáte respondéret, pugnis contúsum, et a
        Petro sejúnctum, nudum inclúdit in cárcerem stratum vitri fragméntis, sine cibo ac sine
        lúmine. Petrum item constríngi ímperat arctíssimis vínculis. Sed cum utríque ex
        torméntis fides et ánimus crésceret, constánti confessióne, et abscísso cápite, illústre
        testimónium Jesu Christo dedérunt.


        Erásmus epíscopus, imperatóribus Diocletiáno et Maximiáno, in Campánia plumbátis et
        fústibus cæsus, resína quoque, súlphure, plumbo liquefácto, et fervénti pice, cera,
        oleóque perfúsus, inde tamen ínteger et inviolátus evásit. Quo miráculo multi se ad
        Christi fidem convertérunt. Verum is, íterum detrúsus in cárcerem, constríctus férreis
        gravissimísque vínculis, inde ab Angelo mirabíliter eréptus est. Deínde Fórmiis a
        Maximiáno váriis afféctus supplíciis, tunicáque ærea candénti indútus, illa étiam
        torménta, divína virtúte superávit. Dénique, plúrimis et in fide confirmátis, et ad fidem
        convérsis, insígnem martyrii palmam adéptus est.

        This Peter was an exorcist, whom, in the reign of the Emperor Diocletian, Serenus the
        Judge cast into prison at Rome because he confessed the Christian faith. He there set
        free Paulina, the daughter of Artemius, the keeper of the prison, from an evil spirit
        which tormented her. Upon this, Artemius and his wife and all their house, with their
        neighbours who had run together to see the strange thing, would fain be made friends with
        Jesus Christ. Peter therefore brought them to Marcellinus, the Priest, who baptized them
        all. When Serenus heard of it, he called Peter and Marcellinus before him, and sharply
        rebuked them, adding to his bitter words threats and terrors, unless they would deny
        Christ. Marcellinus answered him with Christian boldness, whereupon he caused him to be
        buffeted, separated him from Peter and shut him up naked in a prison strewn with broken
        glass, without either food or light. Peter also he straitly confined. But when both of
        them were found to wax faithfuller and braver in their bonds, they were beheaded,
        unshaken in their testimony, and confessing Jesus Christ gloriously by their blood.


        Elmo was a Bishop in Campania who, in the reign of the Emperors Diocletian and Maximian
        was beaten with clubs and whips loaded with lead, and afterwards anointed with melted
        pitch, sulphur, and lead, and boiling resin, wax, and oil. From all this he came forth
        whole and sound; which wonder turned many to believe in Christ. He was remanded again to
        prison, and straitly bound in heavy iron fetters. But from these he was wondrously
        delivered by an angel. At last, at Formi, Maximian caused him to be subjected to diverse
        torments, and in the end being clad in a coat of redhot brass, the power of God made him
        to be more than conqueror in this thing also, and to grasp the palm-branch of a glorious
        testimony, whereby he strengthened many in the faith and turned many to it.
