On this day according to the ROMAN MARTYROLOGY:
In Crete, the birthday of St. Titus, who was consecrated bishop of that island by the blessed Apostle St. Paul. After having faithfully performed the duty of preaching the Gospel, he reached the end of his blessed life and was buried in the church of which he had been made a worthy minister by the holy Apostle.
At Rome, in the reign of Julian the Apostate, the holy martyrs Priscus, priest, Priscillian, cleric, and Benedicta, a religious woman, who ended their martyrdom by the sword.
Also at Rome, under the same emperor, blessed Dafrosa, wife of the martyr St. Flavian. After her husband had been killed, she was first banished, and then beheaded.
At Bologna, the Saints Hermes, Aggoeus and Caius, martyrs, who suffered under the emperor Maximian.
At Adrumetum in Africa, in the persecution of Severus, the commemoration of St. Mavilus, martyr, who, being condemned by the most cruel judge Scapula to be devoured by wild beasts, received the crown of martyrdom.
Also in Africa, the most renowned martyrs Aquilinus, Geminus, Eugenius, Marcian, Quinctus, Theodotus and Tryphon.
At Langres, St. Gregory, a bishop renowned for miracles.
At Rheims in France, St. Rigobertus, bishop and confessor.
And in other places, many other holy martyrs, confessors and virgins.
Thanks be to God.
