to be kissed
The substantive omitted ('vincula'vel sim.) is reflected in the form of the neuter plural of the gerundive, in this capacity serving as a future passive participle, as often in Patristic authors.

Latin term (edited):
ad osculanda
for kissing
It must be read with "ad". Ad can render the idea of finality, and is not rare to see it used with the gerundive, with that idea of finality. So, "for kissing" or "to kiss" the chains of martyrs...

The complete quotation is:
quis in carcerem ad osculanda vincula martyris reptare patietur?, which can be rendered "who will suffer (she) going into the prisons to kiss the martyr's chains?", as it can be seen in the link below. The idea is of finality, "to kiss", "for kissing"

Thank you, Joseph! It's always painful to disagree with you... Finally the finality issue passed unnoticed
