N. B. Some have imagined that St. Firminus, Bishop and Martyr, (whose life is given on the 25th of September,) was an Irishman; but without the least authority, as is proved by Usher, Primord, c. 16. From the acts of this saint it appears that be was a native of Pampelona in Iberia, which an injudicious copier mistook for Ibernia.
