Upon this same 30th day of May, were born into the better life: _ At Rome, upon the Aurelian Way, the holy martyr Pope Felix, who was crowned with martyrdom under the Emperor Aurelian. At Torre, in Sardinia, [in the persecution under the Emperor Hadrian,] the holy martyrs Gabinus and Crispulus.

At Seville, in Spain, [in the year 1252,] holy Ferdinand III, King of Castille and Leon, who on account of his excelling graces was surnamed the Saint.
