Written presumably in Rome, at an uncertain date, perhaps in the 8th or 9th c. | E04770 | Three scarcely preserved Latin graffiti, possibly recording the names of *Neon and Marcellus belonging to the group of the *Greek Martyrs of Rome ($SXXXX), and the name of a reader of the titulus of *Sabina (martyr of Rome, S01546). Found at a cemetery on the via Appia, Rome. One of the texts was arguably dated to the mid-4th c. | E04771 | Latin epitaph for a reader (lector) saying that he will rest in peace with unnamed saints ‘as he merited', just possibly *Marcus and Marcellianus (twin brothers, deacons and martyrs of Rome, buried on the via Ardeatina, S01401), or the *Greek Martyrs of Rome (S01873). Found in a cemetery on the via Appia, Rome. Probably second half of the 5th c. | E04856 | 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 June. | E04927 | 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 22 August. | E05125 | Latin epitaph recording a burial next to a certain Hippolytus, not termed a saint, possibly *Hippolytus, monk and ascetic, one of the Greek Martyrs of Rome (S01873). Found on the via Appia, Rome. Probably 4th or 5th c. | E05354 | Latin epitaph of unknown provenance recording a burial near the tomb of a certain *Hippolytus (probably the 3rd c. martyr of Rome, S00509, or perhaps one of the *Greek Martyrs of Rome, S01873), presumably from the cemetery of Hippolytus on the via Tiburtina, or from a small cemetery with the tomb of the Greek Martyrs on the via Appia, Rome. Probably late 4th - early 5th c. | E06237 | Venantius Fortunatus, in a poem on virginity (8.3), gives a list of prominent female virgin saints.
