Written originally in either Latin or Greek, perhaps near Pozzuoli (southern Italy), attested in Latin by the early 8th c. | E05527 | Bede, in his Martyrology, records the feast on 16 February at Cumae (southern Italy) of *Iuliana (martyr of Nicomedia, buried at Cumae, S01162).

Written in Latin in Rome. | E06402 | Gregory the Great in a papal letter (Register 9.173) of 599, to Fantinus, defensor of the papal patrimony in Sicily, seeks the recovery of property of the abbot of two monasteries, one dedicated to the Archangel (presumably *Michael, S00181), the other to *Erasmus (bishop of Antioch and martyr of Formia, S00867), *Maximus (probably the bishop of Naples, ob. c. 361, S02171) and *Juliana (martyr of Nicomedia, buried at Pozzuoli/Cumae, S01162); both monasteries presumably in Naples (southern Italy).
