[Roman Martyrology and all others. Famous also among the Greeks.
There are various editions of the Acts of her Martyrdom in Latin and
in Greek. The latter are not as trustworthy as the former, which are
very ancient, and though apparently tampered with by copyists, are
on the whole to be relied upon. The Latin Acts were written by
eye-witnesses, as appears from a passage in them, "From this we
supposed he was her angel." There is an older version of the Greek
Acts than that given by Metaphrastes (fl. 867), and there is a
sermon on S. Agatha by S. Methodius. The name of S. Agatha occurs in
the Canon of the Roman Mass; among the first five Virgin Saints
enumerated in _Nobis quoque peccatoribus_.]
