  2. ^ "In the land of Saar, the holy prophet Jonas, who was buried in Geth."[6]
  3. ^ "In Phoenicia, St. Eusebius, martyr, who, of his own accord, went to the prefect, and declaring himself a Christian, was subjected by him to many torments, and finally beheaded."[6]
  4. ^ Her memory is recorded in the Synaxarion of Sirmond, with the phrase:
    • (in Greek) «Τῇ αὕτῃ ἥμερᾳ τῆς ἁγίας μάρτυρος Βάσσης τῆς Τυρίας». (It is unclear if "Tyria" refers to either "Tyre, Lebanon", or to "Tyros, Greece").
  5. ^ "In Cyprus, St. Isacius, bishop and martyr. In the same place, St. Meletius, bishop and confessor."[6] Venerable Meletius is also listed on September 20.

  7. ^ "At twenty miles from Rome, on the Claudian way, the martyrdom of St. Alexander, bishop, in the time of the emperor Antoninus. For the faith of Christ he was loaded with fetters scourged, tortured, burned with torches, torn with iron hooks, exposed to the beasts and cast into the flames, but having overcome all these torments, he was finally beheaded, and so attained the glory of eternal life. His body was afterwards carried into the city by the blessed pope Damasus, on the 26th of November, on which day his feast is to be celebrated by order of the same Pontiff."[6]
  8. ^ Born either in Wales or else in Cornwall, preached Christ with St Teilo.
