Summary:
Brother of *Apphianos from Lycia (S00159), Aidesios likewise had a good secular education and studied in Caesarea under *Pamphilos of Caesarea (S00140). At some point, he was arrested and, after a period of torture and imprisonment, sent to the copper mines in Palestine. After his release from the mines, Aidesios came to the city of Alexandria in Egypt. There, he publicly attacked and beat up the local governor Hierocles for his 'offensive conduct towards the martyrs of God,' such as sending the Christian virgins to brothels. As a consequence, he underwent severe tortures and was cast alive into the sea.
