[In natali martyrum Casti et Aemilii
'On the birthday of the martyrs Castus and Aemilius']
In the first part of the sermon Augustine does not refer to any specific martyrs other than biblical personages, including Peter the Apostle.
4. Tale aliquid factum esse arbitror etiam in his martyribus sanctis Casto et Aemilio, quorum diem hodie celebramus.
'The same sort of thing also happened, I am inclined to think, with these holy martyrs Castus and Aemilius, whose feast we are celebrating today.'
In the following part of the sermon Augustine encourages his audience to follows the martyrs, again without making any references to Castus and Aemilius. The sermon ends with the words which start the Eucharisitic celebration:
Conuersi ad Dominum, etc.
'Turning to the Lord, etc.'
