According to the Apostolic Penitentiary, a partial indulgence is granted to those who on the feast of any Saint recite in his honour the oration of the Missal or any other approved by legitimate Authority.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
O God, the Giver of all good gifts, Who unto the lily of pure maidenhood in the hand of thy servant Bibiana, didst join the palm of a glorious martyrdom, grant us, we beseech thee, at her pleading, that our hearts and minds being joined to thee by thy love, we may escape all dangers which do presently beset us, and finally attain unto thine everlasting joy.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
R. Amen.

I would assume that this indulgence also attaches to the recitation of the Troparion and Kontakion of the Saint of the day in the Eastern Calendar which are in my Eastern Rite post at 00.06.
I have been attending Eastern Rite Masses of 48 years and have never even come across the concept of indulgences. Maybe the Easterners have them, but they are hiding. I asked a Melkite priest about indulgences and he just laughed and said, "You're asking an Eastern Rite priest about indulgences?" He said it is a Roman thing, which emphasis on law.
