| ID | Title | E07001 | The De Locis Sanctis, a guide to the martyrs' burials around Rome, is followed by an Appendix listing 21 churches dedicated to saints within the Aurelianic walls of Rome. Written in Latin in Rome, certainly after 625 and before 790, possibly in 642/683. | E07119 | The Greek Life of *Alexios the Man of God (ascetic of Edessa and Rome, S01211) reproduces an earlier Syriac edifying story about a disguised ascetic holy man, but places his death in Rome (not Edessa in northern Mesopotamia), and claims that he was buried at the church of *Bonifacius (martyr, buried on Rome's Aventine hill, S00523). It mentions a speaking image of *Mary (Mother of Christ, S00033) in Edessa. Probably written in Rome, in the 7th century or later. | E07897 | The Itinerarium Malmesburiense, a guide to saints' graves around and within Rome, lists those buried inside the city.
