At Gaza in Palestine, Saints Eusebius, Nestabus, and Zeno, martyrs, who, being brothers, in the time of the Emperor Julian the Apostate, when a mob of pagans rushed upon them, were torn to pieces and put to death. With them suffered Saint Nestor, who, from the wounds he had received, completed his martyrdom a little while afterward.
