The plate reproduced in this Journal shows the grave at B 3 in fig. 12.

^{page 113 note 1} Wilpert, op. cit. pl. 216.

^{page 114 note 1} Wilpert has abandoned his original idea that the saints lay in the bisomus at B I (a theory strenuously combated by Marucchi).

^{page 114 note 2} Marucchi draws attention to a crypt near this basilica, discovered in 1896, but actually in Domitilla, which contains a fresco representing six saints receiving crowns from our Lord. (See Wilpert, op. cit. pl. 125). He thinks it may be in honour of these two martyrs and their many associates, even if they were not actually buried here; Nuovo Bulletino, 1905, 213. Three of the saints, however, are women, and though many women, according to the Acts, were converted on this occasion, only one, Zoe, suffered martyrdom. On these points, however, the Acts are practically valueless.

^{page 115 note 1} Wilpert, as we have seen, has changed his opinion as to the actual grave, and now believes it to have been at B 3.

^{page 116 note 1} The exigencies of the verse only permit of a limited choice in the words supplied. Other slightly different readings have been suggested, without much change in the sense. Wilpert reads undecim annos in the second line.

^{page 116 note 3} Marini found it “apud sacristiam pontificis” and attributes it to the “coemeterium S. Sebastiani,” which was sometimes imagined to be in the area occupied by S. Callixtus. The inscription runs: “locus trisomus victoris in cruta Damasi.”

^{page 121 note 2} There is some doubt as to the facts of the life of S. Tarsicius, but the date of his death seems fairly well established. Wilpert quotes from an unpublished work on the subject by Pio Franchi dei Cavalieri. I have not been able to obtain J. M. Lambert, Etude sur St. Tarsicius, 1890. Damasus. in his epitaph on Tarsicius (Ihm, 14) compares him to the proto-martyr and deacon S. Stephen. He makes no reference to Zephyrinus. It seems likely he would have done so if, at that period, they lay in the same grave.
