Priscus

Saint Priscus was a bishop in North Africa in the fifth century, commemorated in the calendars of Western saints together with his priests: Castrensis, Tammarus, Rosius, Heraclius, Secundinus, Adjutor, Mark, Augustus, Elpidius, Canion and Vindonius.

According to tradition, the Arian Vandals put Priscus and his priests in a boat and cast it adrift. They reached the south of Italy, where Priscus eventually became bishop of Capua. Scholars, however, regard the sources as unreliable, and in some records a Priscus of Capua is commemorated as a martyr of the fourth century.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 11 February (new style).
