HIS name occurs with the title of bishop in all the manuscript copies of
the ancient Western Martyrology, which bears the name of St. Jerom. That
of the abbey of Esternach, which is very old, and several others, style
him martyr. He probably received that crown soon after St. Alban. All
martyrologies place him in Britain, and at Augusta, which name was given
to London, as Amm. Marcellinus mentions; never to York, for which
Henschenius would have it to be taken in this place, because it was at
that time the capital of Britain. In the ancient copy of Bede's
martyrology, which was used at St. Agnan's at Orleans, he is called St.
Augustus; in some others St. Augurius. The French call him St. Aule.
Chatelain thinks him to be the same saint who is famous in some parts of
Normandy under the name of St. Ouil.
