On this day according to the ROMAN MARTYROLOGY:

At Rome, the birthday of St. Gabinus, priest and martyr, brother of the blessed Pope Caius. Being loaded with chains and kept a long time in prison by Diocletian, he obtained the joys of heaven by a precious death.

In Africa, the holy martyrs Publius, Julian, Marcellus and others.

In Palestine, the commemoration of the holy monks and other martyrs, who were barbarously massacred for the faith of Christ by the Saracens under their leader Almondhar.

At Jerusalem, St. Zambdas, bishop.
