| ID | Title | E01565 | The early 5th c. Syriac Martyrology commemorates on 8 October the martyrdom of *Pelagia (virgin and martyr of Antioch, S01093). Preserved in a manuscript written in Edessa (northern Mesopotamia) in 411. | E02261 | John Chrysostom, in a homily On *Ignatios (bishop of Antioch and martyr of Rome, S00649) delivered during a festival at the saint’s shrine at Antioch, shortly after the feast of *Pelagia (virgin and martyr of Antioch S01093), recounts the story of the martyr, and encourages the people to venerate his relics which were brought from Rome to Antioch. Written in Greek at Antioch (Syria), 386/397. | E02528 | John Chrysostom delivers a homily On *Pelagia (virgin and martyr of Antioch, S01093) during her feast at her shrine in the necropolis of Antioch; the festival is also attended by heretics. He refers to her martyrdom by suicide, and reproaches the immoderate behaviour of Christians during the festival. Written in Greek at Antioch (Syria), 386/397. | E03888 | The Church Calendar of Ioane Zosime, compiled in Georgian in the 10th c., based however on 5th-7th c. prototypes from Palestine, commemorates on 7 October *Sergios (soldier and martyr of Rusafa, S00023) and *Bakchos (soldier and martyr of Barbalissos, S00079), and *Pelagia (virgin and martyr of Antioch, S01093). | E04878 | The 6th/7th c. recension of the Latin Martyrologium Hieronymianum, as transmitted in 8th c. manuscripts, records the feasts of a number of saints on 11 July. | E04979 | The 6th/7th c. recension of the Latin Martyrologium Hieronymianum, as transmitted in 8th c. manuscripts, records the feasts of a number of saints on 7 October. | E04980 | The 6th/7th c. recension of the Latin Martyrologium Hieronymianum, as transmitted in 8th c. manuscripts, records the feasts of a number of saints on 8 October. | E04991 | The 6th/7th c. recension of the Latin Martyrologium Hieronymianum, as transmitted in 8th c. manuscripts, records the feasts of a number of saints on 19 October. | E05206 | Ambrose of Milan, in a letter to Simplicianus (Letter 7), suggests that martyrdom leads to true freedom, using the examples of *Thekla (follower of the Apostle Paul, S00092), *Agnes (virgin and martyr of Rome, S00097), *Pelagia (virgin and martyr of Antioch, S01093), *Laurence (deacon and martyr of Rome, S00037) and the *Maccabean martyrs (pre-Christian Jewish martyrs of Antioch, S00303). Written in Latin in Milan (northern Italy), c. 387. | E05210 | Ambrose of Milan adapts a sermon (Concerning Virgins), given on virginity on the feast day of *Agnes (virgin and martyr of Rome, S00097). He praises and gives accounts of the martyrdoms of *Thekla (follower of the Apostle Paul, S00092), *Soteris (virgin and martyr of Rome, buried on the via Appia, S00548), *Pelagia (virgin and martyr of Antioch, S01903) and another unnamed martyr of Antioch. Written in Latin in Milan (northern Italy), 377. | E06046 | Mosaics in the nave of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna (northern Italy) depicting twenty-two female saints, preceded by the three Magi, processing towards the Virgin and Child, and twenty-six male saints, probably originally preceded by *Stephen (the First Martyr, S00030), processing towards Christ; created under Bishop Agnellus, 557/564. | E06124 | The Greek Martyrdom of *Loukianos/Lucian of Antioch (theologian and martyr of Nicomedia and Helenopolis, S00151) recounts the childhood and scholarly career of Loukianos, as well as his arrest and journey to Nicomedia, his imprisonment and eventual death there, together with the miraculous recovery of his relics; the text also mentions a number of other martyrs of the tetrarchic persecution. Survives in a 10th c. metaphrastic redaction of an earlier text, possibly written in the 4th c. or later, possibly in Bithynia. |
