| ID | Title | E03255 | The Latin Life of *Pastor (priest and martyr of Rome, S01842) narrates that Pastor, priest and disciple of the apostle *Paul (S00008), together with *Timotheus (presumably the disciple of Paul, S00466), is the dedicatee of a church (titulus pastoris) near the vicus Laterici in Rome built by the senator Pudens, where he is buried. He took care of the burial of several saints, among whom the virgins *Praxedes and *Pudentiana (martyrs of Rome, S00591 and S00142), whose Lives he also wrote. Written presumably in Rome, at an uncertain date, by the 12th-13th c. at the latest. | E04565 | The Latin Martyrdom of *Pastor (presumably Pastor, priest and martyr of Rome, S01842) relates that Pastor was from Nicomedia (north-west Asia Minor), where he converted people after a miracle, was instructed by the bishop Erasmus, converted his parents, was arrested and tortured by Diocletian and performed other miracles; he was then brought by an angel to Rome where he effected further miracles and conversions, leading to his arrest, trial and execution, by being dragged by wild horses; he is said to have been buried next to the clivus cucumeris by a priest Iohannes. Written presumably in Rome, at an uncertain date, by the 12th c. at the latest. |
