On this day according to the ROMAN MARTYROLOGY:
At Rome, on the Via Appia, the martyrdom of blessed Quirinus, tribune, baptised with all his household by Pope St. Alexander who was imprisoned in his house. Under the emperor Hadrian he was delivered to the judge Aurelian, and, as he persevered in the confession of the faith, his tongue was plucked out, he was stretched on the rack, his hands and feet were cut off, and the sword terminated the course of his martyrdom.
At Thessalonica, the birthday of the holy martyrs Domninus, Victor and their companions.
At Constantinople, the commemoration of many holy martyrs of the Catholic communion, whom the heresiarch Macedonius in the time of Constantius put to death by unheard-of kinds of torments. For among other tortures, he cut off the breasts of Christian women by pressing them between the lids of chests, and seared the wounds with hot iron.
At Senlis, the demise of St. Regulus, bishop of Aries.
At Orleans in France, St. Pastor, bishop.
At Syracuse, St. Zosimus, bishop and confessor.
On Mount Sinai, St. John Climacus, abbot.
At Aquino, St. Clinius, confessor.
And in other places, many other holy martyrs, confessors and virgins.
Thanks be to God.
