which I take from the old English version of his Lives of Saints, by
John Heigham, anno 1630.

"The Church doth celebrate the feast of SS. Chrisanthus and Daria, the
25th of October, and their death was in the year of our Lord God 284, in
the raigne of Numerianus, Emperor. The martyrdom of these saints was
written by Verinus and Armenius, priests of St. Stephen, Pope and
Martyr: Metaphrastes enlarged it somewhat more. St. Damasus made
certain eloquent verses in praise of these saints, and set them on their
tombe. There is mention of them also in the Romaine Martirologe, and in
that of Usuardus: as also in the 5. tome of Surius; in Cardinal
Baronius, and Gregory of Turonensis", p. 849.

A different abridgment of the story as given by Surius, is to be found
in Ribadeneyra's "Flos Sanctorum" (the edition before me being that of
Barcelona, 1790, t. 3. p. 304). It concludes with the same list of
authorities, which, however, is given with more precision. The old
English translation by W. P. Esq., second edition: London, 1730, p. 369,
gives them thus:

"Surius in his fifth tome, and Cardinal Baronius in his 'Annotations
upon the Martyrologies', and in the second tome of his Annals, and St.
Gregory of Tours in his 'Book of the Glory of the Martyrs', make mention
of the Saints Chrysanthus and Daria".

The following is taken from Caxton's Golden Legende, or translation of
the Legenda Aurea of Jacobus de Voragine. I have transcribed from the
following edition, which is thus described in the Colophon:
