3. According to Sicilian tradition he was the first 'Bishop of the West' , sent to Syracuse in Sicily by the Apostle Peter. It is more likely that Marcian was sent to Sicily in the third century. He was martyred by Jews who threw him from a tower. If he was indeed made bishop by Saint Peter, he probably is the same St Marcellus of Sicily commemorated with Sts Philagrius and Pancratius under February 9.
4. "At Syracuse, St. Marcian, bishop, who was made bishop by blessed Peter, and killed by the Jews after he had preached the Gospel."
5. See: (in Italian) Marciano di Siracusa. Misplaced Pages. (Italian Misplaced Pages).
6. "At Soissons, the holy martyrs Valerius and Rufinus, who, after enduring many torments, were condemned to be beheaded by the governor Rictiovarus, in the persecution of Diocletian."
7. See: (in Italian) Marco di Eca. Misplaced Pages. (Italian Misplaced Pages).
8. St Dogmaels Abbey is an abbey in St Dogmaels in Pembrokeshire, Wales, on the banks of the River Teifi and close to Cardigan and Poppit Sands. It is named after Dogmael, a 6th-century saint said to have been the son of Ithel ap Ceredig ap Cunedda Wledig, and also reputedly the cousin of Saint David.
9. "At the 14th June, in the Rev. Alban Butler's work, and in the Circle of the Seasons, we find a St. Psalmodius, Hermit of Ireland. At this date, likewise, the Bollandists have an entry of Psalmodius, whom they make a Hermit, in the country of the Lemovices, or Limosin. However, they refer his festival to the 13th of June."
10. Founder of a monastery in the forest of Argentan in France which was later called Saint-Loyer-des-Champs after him. He then became Bishop of Séez for thirty-two years.
11. Anastasius was a deacon of the church of St Acisclus in Cordoba in Spain, who became a monk at Tábanos near the same town. Felix was born in Alcalá of a Berber family, became a monk in Asturias but joined the monastery at Tábanos, hoping for martyrdom. Digna belonged to the convent there. The three were among the first to confess Christ in Cordoba and were beheaded by order of the Caliph.
