_St. Leander_, Bishop, A. D. 596. _St. Julian_, _Chronion_, and
_Besas_. _St. Thalilæus._ _St. Galmier_, or _Baldomerus_, A. D. 650.
_St. Nestor_, A. D. 250. _St. Alnoth._
_St. Thalilæus._
This saint was a weeper in Syria. He hermitized on a mountain during
sixty years, wept almost without intermission for his sins, and lived
for ten years in a wooden cage.
_St. Galmier._
Was a locksmith at Lyons, and lived in great poverty, for he bestowed
all he got on the poor, and sometimes his tools. An abbot gave him a
cell to live in, he died a subdeacon about 650, and his relics worked
miracles to his fame, till the Hugonots destroyed them in the sixteenth
century.
_St. Alnoth._
Was bailiff to St. Wereburge, became an anchoret, was killed by robbers,
and had his relics kept at Stow, near Wedon, in Northamptonshire.
