Life
Pothamius and Nemesius of Cyprus were martyrs of Cyprus, remembered together on 20 February.
The Roman Martyrology says only that on the island of Cyprus there were the holy martyrs Pothamius and Nemesius. We have no data on the time or circumstances of their martyrdom.
They are saints of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is very scant.
