Baring-Gould’s sources: The ancient Roman Kalendar, published by Leo Allatius, commemorates on this day Cyriacns alone; another ancient Roman Kalendar of the 8th cent, on July 15 and August 8; and on March 16, Cyriacus, Largus, and Smaragdus. S. Gregory I. in his Sacramentary commemorates Cyriacus on Aug. 8. A Roman Kalendar of the 4th cent. (a.d. 354), published by Bucherius, gives on the same day Cyriacus, Largus, Crescentianus, Memmia, Juliana, and Smaragdus. Also the Martyrology attributed to S. Jerome. • All later Latin Martyrologies, modern Roman, Sarum, York, &e. Authorities: Mention in the Martyrologies. The Acts are purely fabulous, and undeserving of attention; they are contained in the apocryphal Acts of Pope Marcellinus April 26.] YRIACUS, a deacon of Rome, Smaragdus, and 52111 LarSus were martyred under Diocletian by the ! 11211 sword. A worthless tradition asserts that Cyriacus converted and baptized Artemia, daughter of Diocletian, that he was sent by Diocletian to King Sapor, of Persia, to heal his daughter Jobia, possessed with a devil, this he did, and also baptized Jobia, Sapor, and four hundred and thirty of the Persian court. The execution of these martyrs took place on the Salarian Way, at the Thermee of Sallust. Their bodies were taken up, and buried in the cemetery of Lucina on the Ostian Way. The relics are shown in the church of S. Maria, in Via Lata, at Rome. The veneration for these martyrs is very ancient. Honorius I. (623-638) erected a church in their honour. 6”. Hormisdas.
