Life
Saint Nonnus the Venerable is commemorated on 5 December (new style, the Greek calendar). The synaxarion says that he reposed in peace. In some synaxaria he is mentioned, alongside Saint Gratus, as a bishop of Ephesus.
A verse speaks of Nonnus, who escaped the fetter of the adversary and lay dead wrapped in burial cloths. No further details of his life are preserved.
