Life
Eusebius of Gaza was a martyr at Gaza in Palestine, killed by a pagan mob in 362, in the time of the emperor Julian the Apostate, together with his brothers Nestabus and Zeno.
The Roman Martyrology commemorates them on 21 September: the pagan crowd rushed upon them, tore them apart and killed them. With them suffered Saint Nestor, who died of his wounds a little later. Their cousin was Saint Zeno, bishop of Maiuma, who built a church for them.
