Baring-Gould’s sources: Ancient Roman Martyrology as well as the Modern Martyrology. Ado, Usuardus, Notlcer, Ac. Authority: — The Acts of S. Sebastian.] It is unnecessary to repeat here what has been already related in the life of S. Sebastian (Jan. 20th) concerning the conversion of Tranquillinus, father of Marcus and Marcellinus. He is said to have been baptized by the priest Polycarp, and ordained to the priesthood by Pope S. Caius. On the octave of the martyrdom of SS. Peter and Paul, he was praying at the tomb of S. Paul, where he was found, and stoned to death.
