Historical martyrology witness · Martyrologium Romanum (Latin historical edition)

Lugduni, in Gallia, sancti Irenaei, Episcopi et Martyris; qui (ut scribit sanctus Hieronymus) beati Polycarpi, Smyrnensis Episcopi, discipulus fuit, et Apostolicorum temporum vicinus. Is, cum adversus haereticos verbis ac scriptis plurimum decertasset, tandem, in persecutione Severi, cum omni fere civitatis suae populo, coronatus est glorioso martyrio.
