Martyrologium Romanum · Latin witness

Romae, via Appia, beati Cornelii, Papae et Martyris; qui, in persecutione Decii, post exsilii relegationem, jussus est plumbatis caedi, et sic, cum aliis viginti et uno promiscui sexus, decollari. Sed et Caerealis miles cum Sallustia uxore, quos idem Cornelius in fide instruxerat, eodem die sunt capite plexi.
