Romæ, in suburbáno, beáti Victoríni, Epíscopi et Mártyris; qui, sanctitáte et miráculis clarus, sacerdótium Amiternínæ urbis, totíus pópuli electióne, adéptus est. Póstmodum, sub Nerva Trajáno, apud Cutílias, ubi puténtes et sulphúreæ emánant aquæ, cum áliis Dei servis, relegátus, ab Aureliáno Júdice jussus est suspéndi cápite deórsum; idque cum per tríduum pro nómine Christi passus fuísset, tandem, glorióse coronátus, victor migrávit ad Dóminum.

In the suburbs of Rome, blessed Victorinus, bishop and martyr, in the time of Nerva Trajan. Being renowned for sanctity and miracles, he was elected bishop of Amiterno by the whole populace, but afterwards he was banished, with other servants of God, to Contigliano, where fetid sulphurous waters spring forth, and was suspended with his head downward by order of the judge Aurelian. Having for the name of Christ endured this torment for three days, he was gloriously crowned and went victoriously to our Lord. His body was taken away by the Christians and buried with due honours at Amiterno.
