Life
Nuphius was a presbyter at Alexandria and a martyr, a saint of the undivided Church.
His name survives only uncertainly in the Syriac Martyrology of 411, which commemorates him on 5 September, by the Julian calendar (old style), as "presbyter at Alexandria". The Latin Hieronymian Martyrology gives a different form of the name at this place. No other account of him survives.
