E02199Calendar of the Church of Carthage (central North Africa) lists saints whose liturgical commemorations were celebrated in August. Written in Latin in Carthage, probably between 505 and 535.
E07180The so-called Barbarus Scaligeri, a Latin translation of a lost Greek chronography dating from the 6th c., refers to the martyrdom of *Timotheus (bishop supposedly martyred at Carthage, S02875), in the year 304. This is probably an error for *Timotheus (martyr of Rome, buried on the via Ostiensis, S00330).
