| ID | Title | E02517 | The Martyrdom of *Valentinus (bishop and martyr of Terni, S00434; see also the martyr of Rome, S00433) is written in Latin, perhaps in Terni (central Italy), at an uncertain date, by the early 8th c. at the latest. It narrates the bishop of Terni, Valentinus’ healing of the son of an orator called Crato in Rome, the conversion of Crato and all his household, together with his Greek students *Proculus, Ephebus and Apollonius (martyrs of Terni, 001549); Valentinus’ arrest, beating and beheading; his burial near Terni in a tomb provided by Proculus, Ephebus and Apollonius; their arrest, beheading and burial next to Valentinus. | E05526 | Bede, in his Martyrology, records the feast on 14 February of *Valentinus (bishop and martyr of Terni, S00434). Written in Latin at Wearmouth-Jarrow (north-east Britain), 725/731. | E06541 | The Latin Gelasian Sacramentary (or Liber Sacramentorum Romanae Ecclesiae), probably compiled around 750 near Paris using earlier material from Rome, records prayers to saints on their feast days in February. |
