What date "Usuard"? I have an unsourced statement: "His feast was moved to
this day in the Roman Martyrology from the fifth Sunday in Lent (Milan and
Spain) and Palm Sunday (Gaul)." Lazarus was commemorated in southern and
central France because of confusion with a 5th century bishop of Marseilles.
The 13th-century Fleury calendars apparently have him on 1st September, with
Priscus, Lupus and Egidius.
