Life

Orion was a bishop commemorated at Alexandria, a saint of the undivided Church.

The Syriac Martyrology of 411 commemorates him on 16 August, by the Julian calendar (old style), as "the bishop Orion" of Alexandria. The Latin Hieronymian Martyrology, of the same origin, names him in the same city. No other account of his life, of the see he shepherded, or of the manner of his end survives.
