¹ Since the above was written, Delahaye, H., reviewing the book in Arudecta Bollandiana, xlvii (1929), 77 ff.CrossRefGoogle Scholar, has rejected the title of ‘Basilica of the Five Martyrs.’ There is no literary evidence about the history of Asterius or his companions, and militum IV of the Hieronymian Martyrology appears to be a corruption of miliario III. In the Lateran mosaic they are represented in the uniform of the Palatine Guards after the usual Byzantine practice in the case of martyrs about whom nothing was known. There is no proof of any translation before that to the Lateran, and the tomb found in he basilica at Salona appears to be pagan.
