Life
Holy Martyr Augustus of Nicomedia is named on 7 May in the Hieronymian Martyrology, beside Bishop Flavius, as a martyr at Nicomedia. The scholar Hippolyte Delehaye considers Augustus and Augustine to be two forms of one name, that is, a single martyr who cannot be identified more closely. The present Roman Martyrology names on this day Flavius and four companions, following a Syriac martyrology of the fourth century.
