 According to Caesar Baronius' "Annales Ecclesiastici", now considered historically inaccurate, Nicanor was a Cypriot Jew who returned to his native island and died a martyr in 76.Other accounts say he was martyred in "Berj," an unidentified place possibly confused with Botrys.Timon was said to have been a Hellenized Jew who became a bishop in Greece or in Bosra, Syria; in the latter account, his preaching brought the ire of the local governor, who martyred him with fire.
