Life
Holy Martyr Nesius (also called Nisius) suffered by being beaten with whips of ox sinew. He is commemorated on 27 February (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, alongside Gelasius the Mime and the venerable Timothy.
A verse of the synaxarion says that Nesius suffers bearing the ox sinews and that through them he gains forgetfulness of pains. No other details of his life have survived.
