[Roman Martyrology, inserted by Baronius in these words: — "At Perugia the holy martyrs Gratian and Felinus, soldiers who, after suffer- ing various tortures under Decius, received the crown of martyrdom." And Baronius quotes as his authority the Acts preserved at Perugia. But he laboured under a very serious mistake. The so-called Acts of SS. Gratian and Felinus, used as lections in the Arona Passionale, are ex- tracted from the Acts of SS. Florentinus and Companions, martyrs at Perugia commemorated the same day. But these Acts are in their turn not genuine ; they are, in fact, the Acts of SS. Secundianus and Comp. (Aug. gth), which have been adapted "by some monk, more pious Ihan learned," says Henschenius, —we should have said "as unscrupulously as ignorantly," — by merely altering the names of persons and places so as to make the Acts serve for the Perugian martyrs, of whom, therefore, we may con- clude that nothing was known. Consequently the less said about SS. Gratian and Felmus, patrons of Arona, or of SS. Florentinus and Companions at Perugia, the better. The relics of SS. Gratian and Felinus are now at Arona. Those of S. Florentinus were translated to Douai.j ^The Bollandists suppose that several—perhaps five—saints of the same name have been confounded in one, consequently the life of S. Clarus is in inextricable confusion. VOL. VI. I *- -* 1^ ^ 2 Lives of the Saints. rjune i. SS. PAMPHILUS AND OTHERS, MM. (a.d. 309.) [Roman Martyrology, together with the Deacon Valens, and Paulus and seven others, MM. But by Usuardus, Ado, Notker, &c., Pamphilus alone, and the others on Feb. i6th. Authority : —Eusebius, a friend, perhaps a kinsman of S. Pamphilus. Eusebius says in his Eccl. Hist, that Pamphilus was "a name thrice dear to him." "Pamphilus was a man distinguished above the rest of us by his devotion to the Holy Scriptures." Eusebius wrote a separate life of his friend, and refers to this in his history. The life, which was in three books, has been lost, but Metaphrastes apparently borrowed from it his account of the saint.] fAINT PAMPHILUS was a native of Berytus, and was of a rich and honourable family. In his youth he studied in the famous schools of his native town, and attained great proficiency in every branch of learning then taught. He afterwards moved to Alexandria, and became a disciple of Pierius, the scholar of Origen, in the great catechetical school of Alexandria.
