description: The Notitia of Theodelinda's oils<br><br>This list of relics is supplemented by a number of individual labels (pittacia) from the flasks of oil, twelve of which also survive in Monza. These pittacia essentially duplicate the information found in the list below, so we have not made separate entries for them. However it should be noted that the name of one saint is known only from the pittacia and not from the list: *Candida (martyr of Rome with Arthemius and Paulina, buried on the via Aurelia, S00552), whose name is partially preserved in pittacium II of the editions of Valentini and Zucchetti, and of Glorie.<br><br>Not(itia) de olea s(an)c(t)orum martyrum qui Romae in corpore requiescunt idest<br><br>[Left column]<br>sancti Petri apostholi<br>sancti Pauli apostholi<br>[sanct]i Pancrati<br>sancti Arthemi<br>sanctae Sofiae cum tres filias suas<br>sanctae Paulinae<br>sanctae Lucinae<br>sancti Processi<br>sancti Martiniani<br>[san]c[ti] Grisanti<br>[sanct]ae D[a]riae<br>sancti Mauri<br>sancti Iason<br>[et a]li[i] sancti multa milia<br>sancti Sat[ur]nini<br>sancti [..]pinionis<br>sancti Systi<br>[sanct]i L[au]renti<br>[san]cti [Ypp]oliti<br>sanctorum Iohannis et Pauli<br>sanctae A[gnet]is et aliarum<br>mul[ta]rum mar[ty]rum<br>sancti Y[…]ion<br>sanctae So[th]eris<br>sanctae Sa[pie]ntiae<br>sanctae Sp[ei]<br>sanctae Fides<br>sanctae Ca[rit]atis<br>sanctae C[a]e[cili]ae<br>[sanct]i [T]arsicii<br>sancti Cornilii<br>et multa milia sanctorum<br>[sanct]i Iohannis sancti Liberalis<br>[………………………]<br>[sancti B]lastro et multorum sanctorum<br>[sed et] alii sancti idest CCLXII<br>[in unu]m locum et alii CXXII<br>[et alii sancti] XLV quos omnes<br>[Iust]inus presbiter colliga<br>[sancti Laure]nti martyris sepelivit<br>[s.
