ON SS. PAULINUS AND ISICHUS MARTYRS AT ANTIOCH.
From the same Hieronymian Martyrology.
CommentaryPaulinus, Martyr at Antioch (S.)
Isicus, Martyr at Antioch (S.)
G. H.
The aforesaid apographs of the Hieronymian Martyrology conclude this day and month with these words: At Antioch of Paulinus and Isicus. For this in the Epternach is engraved Isticus. But with the prior reading agree the MS. Martyrologies, the Roman of Cardinal Barberini, the Atrebatense of the Cathedral Church, the Tornacense of the monastery of S. Martin; and in these two is called their birthday, and is added Justus. But this pertains to the Spanish Saints, having suffered at Gerunda. But not having palaestra apposed both are mentioned in MSS. Pragensis of the principal Church, and another submitted to us at Paris by Philippus Labbé, but only Isicus in MS. Reichenau in Suevia. More if anyone of these Martyrs shall come to know, I will gladly learn: nor will I deny, that I would not have dared to separate them from the Gerundan Martyrs, and to defer them to June, except so concordantly in all the exemplars of the Hieronymian Martyrology they are found ascribed at Antioch, with also two interjected Martyrs, one of Cirtha, the other of Carthage, a little above named.
