Saints Eusebius, Nestablus, Zeno, and Nestor (died ) were early Christian martyrs in Gaza, Palestine. Life

Saints Eusebius, Nestablus and Zeno were three Christian brothers in Gaza during the reign of Julian (r. 361–363). They were imprisoned and tortured, then dragged out by a mob, beaten and killed.
