Ibidemque Timotheus martir, et non longe in aecclesia sanctae Teclae sunt martires Felix et Adauctus et Nemesius. In Aqua Saluia est caput Anastasii martiris.
'The twelfth gate and road is called the Ostiensis; it is now called saint Paul's gate, because near it he rests in his own church, and there too is the martyr Timotheus, and not far off in the church of saint Thecla are the martyrs Felix and Adauctus, and Nemesius. In Aqua Salvia is the head of the martyr Anastasius.'

[*Paul, the Apostle, S00008; *Timotheus, martyr of Rome, buried on the via Ostiensis, S00330; *Thecla, follower of the Apostle Paul, S00092; *Felix and Adauctus, martyrs of Rome, buried on the via Ostiensis, S00421; *Nemesius, martyr of Rome, buried on the via Ostiensis, S01078; Anastasius, monk and martyr of Persia, ob. 628, S02052]
DLS: 'In the southern part of the city, however, close by the via Ostiensis, the apostle Paul rests in the body, and there too sleeps Timotheus, bishop and martyr, about whom the book of Silvester bears record. And in front of the same basilica is the oratory of Stephen the martyr; there a stone, with which Stephen was stoned, is placed on the altar.
Not far from there to the south is the monastery ad Aquas Salvias, where the head of saint Anastasius is and the place where Paul was beheaded.
Also, close by the basilica of Paul, is the church of saint Thecla where she herself lies in the body.
And not far away is the church of saint Felix where he sleeps; by his side, when he went to the heavens, hurried Adauctus; and both rest in one place. There too lies the martyr Nemeseus with many more.'
