euphebius

saint euphebius -lrb- `` ephebus , euphemus , efrimus '' -rrb- is venerated as a patron saint and bishop of naples .
ferdinando ughelli writes that the date of euphebius ' episcopate can not be determined with certainty .
there is no biography of euphebius ' life .
paulus regius and baronius theorized that euphebius died in 713 ad , but joannes diaconus considers euphebius the eighth bishop of naples , succeeding st. eustasius -lrb- eustathius -rrb- , which would have his episcopate occur sometime in the 2nd century .
