PLUTARCO E COMPAGNI, SANTI MARTIRI

Italian original Cite

PLUTARCH AND COMPANIONS, Saints, Martyrs. - Commemorated together on 28 June although they did not die on the same day.

The entry in the Hieronymian Martyrology was certainly taken from Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History, where the martyrdom of certain disciples of Origen under Septimius Severus is recounted. Besides P., they are Serenus, Heraclides, Heron, another Serenus, Heraïs, Basilides, Potamiaena (v.) and Marcella, almost all neophytes or catechumens, disciples of the young Origen (v.) in the school of Alexandria.
