That should have read as follows: V. is one of the five principal patron saints of Sorrento (Antoninus, Renatus, A., Baculus, and Valerius) whose appearances to terrify the enemy and to encourage the participation of the laggard Neapolitans are said in the Vita of St. Antoninus of Sorrento (BHL 582; later ninth- or tenth-century) to have been instrumental in a victory by a combined fleet from the duchies of Gaeta, Naples, and Sorrento over Muslim raiders who had seized the island of Ischia (perhaps in 849).
