E06788: A Latin papyrus preserved in Monza (northern Italy) lists the 'oils of the holy martyrs who in body rest in Rome' brought from Rome for Theodelinda, queen of the Lombards, naming many Roman saints. Written at Monza or Rome, 590/604; preserved in its original copy.

The Notitia of Theodelinda's oils

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.
