Further to Basilides of Rome:
In that earlier post's notice this saint, the second of the three links to Italian-language accounts of the abbazia di San Basilide at Lesignano de' Bagni (PR) no longer functions. Use this instead (the account starts fairly close to the top of the page):

In the same notice the first of the links to views of capitals in the narthex of the abbey church also no longer functions. Use this instead:

Further to Eskil of Strängnäs:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, Fors kyrka (Fors church) should have been identified as being in Eskilstuna. The link to a view of its group of later fifteenth-century wooden altar statues (1475), with Eskil in the center, no longer functions. A less good view of that is here:
http://www.allakartor.se/venue_images_475/57175_61433678.jpg
In the same notice, the link to the English-language page on Strängnäs cathedral also no longer functions. Use this instead:
http://www.sim1.se/swe/mal/strang/strang_01.html
and add this link to a panorama of the interior:
http://www.360cities.net/image/strangnas-cathedral#0.00,0.00,70.0
Strängnäs cathedral also has a wooden statue of Eskil holding the stones that killed him:

In the diocese of Strängnäs Eskil's feast is celebrated on 11. June, his traditional _dies natalis_.
Further to Placidus of Roio:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to a view of the cave in Ocre's _frazione_ of San Panfilo d'Ocre claimed to be the one dwelt in by Placidus no longer functions. Use instead the views on this page:
http://www.lorenzograssi.it/niphargus/beato.htm
In the same notice, add to the link to the touristy website from the present proprietors of the monastero del Sacro Spirito in Ocre this link to a more scholarly page from the _comune_ (and click on the penultimate image for a view of the later thirteenth-century fresco [ca. 1280] of Sts. Peter and Paul and donors flanking an enthroned Madonna and Child):
http://www.comunediocre.it/Turismo/0_1_8SSpirito.aspx
Also in that notice, the link provided for a view of the aforesaid fresco no longer functions. This link takes one to the same image:
