Priscus is one of several Catholic saints and martyrs. In the 1921 Benedictine Book of Saints there are seven figures named Priscus mentioned.
There are different feast days involved.[1] In some confusion, he is said to be the first Bishop of Capua, a martyr of the third century, and an African bishop; but the sources have been cast into doubt, and even the century is unclear in some accounts.[2]
March 28
[edit]The martyr was put to death in 260 under Valerian, with Malchus and Alexander.[3]
May 9
[edit]Priscus of Nocera, first bishop of Nocera (is also distinguished from the Bishop of Capua).[4]
May 26
[edit]Priscus, a Roman legionary officer, was put to death in 272 in France, under Aurelian.
September 1
[edit]Priscus of Capua is recognized as a martyr who died in Capua along the Aquarian Road in the fourth century.[5]
However, there is another story that Priscus was an African bishop in the fifth century and died after being cast adrift. This story is considered unreliable.[6]
October 1
[edit]Priscus, Crescens, and Evagrius were martyrs, put to death in Tomi, on the Black Sea.
