Life
Narses and Joseph were martyrs in Persia: the bishop Narses, a venerable old man, and his disciple, the young Joseph. They suffered in 343, in the persecution of King Shapur II.
The Roman Martyrology commemorates them on 10 November and says that when the king ordered them to worship the sun they refused and were beheaded. No other details survive. A bishop Narses of Shahrqart also appears in the Syriac Martyrology of 411; this appears to be the same saint.
