Holy Martyr Priscus of Tomis is commemorated in the Roman Martyrology on 1 October (new style), with Crescens and Evagrius, as martyrs of Tomis, the city on the Pontus Euxinus (today Constanța, in Dobruja). The martyrology says no more about their lives and deaths.

They are counted among the martyrs of the first Christian centuries of Dobruja, saints of the undivided Church. The name Priscus means, in Latin, “ancient, venerable”.
