Ibidem passio sancti Ignatii, Episcopi et Martyris; qui, tertius post beatum Petrum Apostolum, Antiochenam rexit Ecclesiam. Hic, in persecutione Trajani, damnatus ad bestias, Romam vinctus mittitur; ibique, circumsedente Senatu, immanissimis poenarum suppliciis primo est affectus, dehinc objicitur leonibus, quorum dentibus praefocatus, hostia Christi efficitur. Ejus vero festivitas Kalendis Februarii celebratur.
