CLAUDIUS, Asterius, Neon, Domnina and Theonilla, Saints. - Martyrs of Aegea (in Cilicia) in 285; the Western martyrologies commemorate them on 23 Aug., while the Greek synaxaria list them on 30 Oct. and 27 Jan. Two Latin recensions of the original Acts survive, both different from those summarized in the Synaxarion of Constantinople and in the Menologion of Basil. The two saints D. and T. were added later to the original group.
