APOLLONIUS the APOLOGIST, a Roman senator and scholar who, after studies in pagan philosophy as well as the Scriptures converted to Christianity. Though during the time in which St. Apollonius flourished Christians were relatively free from persecution, when one of his servants denounced St. Apollonius to the authorities. St. Apollonius was then brought before a court which gave him the option of either renouncing Christianity or death, St. Apollonius refused to apostatise and was beheaded circa 190. Eusebius of Caesarea (†339) in his Ecclesiastical History, and St. Jerome (30th September) in De Viris Illustribus have written of St. Apollonius and his trial.

COGITOSUS, (Seventh or Eighth Century), though little is known of this saint, it appears he was a monk at St. Bridig's monastery in Co. Kildare, Ireland. The Vita Sanctae Brigitae (Brigidae), generally thought to be the oldest extant Life of St. Brigid (1st February) is generally ascribed to St. Cogitosus. Some sources contend that he may have been related to St. Brigid as well, though there is insufficient evidence to support this assertion.

COREBUS, according to pious legend St. Corebus was a prefect in Messina, Sicily who was converted to Christ by the witness of St. Eleutherius (26th May). He was martyred in 138, a victim of the persecutions during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (r. 117–138).

DEICOLA (DICUL), A native of Ireland, St. Deicola went to England where he worked to enlighten the people of Norfolk and Sussex. The village of Dickleburgh in South Norfolk may be named after him. He reposed towards the end of the seventh century.

ELEUTHERIUS and ANTHIA, St. Eleutherius, Bishop of Illyria in present-day Croatia, his mother Anthia, and eleven others, whose name are no longer known, were martyred, possibly for their successful evangelisation, in Illyria circa 138, in the persecutions during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (r. 117–138).
