G. H.
The ancient Hieronymian Martyrologies begin the present day from these Martyrs in this manner: At Alexandria of Aphrodisius, Agrippa, Sabinus, Grisus, Lucius, Cyrilla, Cridula, Jovinus and two others. From these in place of Grisus is also read Grissus and Grippus. From the names of Lucius and Cyrilla, a single is concocted in the MS. of Echternach: Lucirilla: and in the same for Cridula is Oritula, and three Companions are added. Juvinus is in only the Corbey of Paris printed, and to two anonymous postponed. In other Martyrologies also some are mentioned: for in MS. of Reichenau these things are: Alexandria of Agrippa, Sabinus, Lucius, Cyrilla. MS. of Rhihovius: Alexandria of Agrippa. Notker thus has: At Alexandria of Aphrodisius, Agrippa and many Martyrs. But the place of martyrdom is not indicated in the MSS. of Aachen, Augsburg and Labbe of Agrippa, Lucius, Sabinus; although also Agrippus and Lucas is also read. In Greven in the Additions to Usuard these are handed down: Likewise of the Saints Gagus, Lucus, Agrippa and Sabina. And in the MS. Florarium mention is made of the Holy Virgins Agrippa and Sabina: meanwhile Sabinus or Savinus is read in ancient Martyrologies, in which Gagus below among other Martyrs is venerated. In the MS. of Tamlacht are reported the names of Affrodissius, Sabinus, Agrifa, Lucus, Credula, Quirilla, Gressus, likewise Lucius.
