Saint Abercius of Hieropolis
Feast day: October 22
Abercius of Hieropolis was a Christian clergyman from Hierapolis at the time of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. He is maybe identical to an author who is called Avircius Marcellus in later sources. It is generally considered – although not indisputable – that he was bishop of Hierapolis and as such the successor to Papias.
