Saint Narses is commemorated on 9 November (new style, the Greek calendar) together with Saint Artemon. The synaxarion says that both received martyrdom by the sword, and a verse adds that Narses received the crowns together with Artemon.
Narses was a Persian and may be the same as the Narses commemorated on 9 December. Place, time and other details are not preserved.
