Well, we don't really know that this Just really was a child martyr. But that's been his standard construction since at least the eighth century. He's the J. of the Complutensian martyrs Justus and Pastor, on whom see no. 2 here: <http://tinyurl.com/3cga532>. In the vain hope of stimulating some francophile response I had been showing only Spanish dedications to this pair in my notices of them on 6. August. In addition to the basilique St-Just at Valcabrère (Haute-Garonne) there is also the cathédrale St-Just-et-St-Pasteur in Narbonne; perhaps we'll have views of these on the saints' feast day next August.
Best,
