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.
