Procopius of Scythopolis was a third-century Christian martyr and ascetic who served as a reader and exorcist in Scythopolis. Born in Jerusalem, he was recognized as an educated theologian and held several ecclesiastical roles. During the persecutions under Emperor Diocletian, he was sent to Caesarea Maritima, where he was executed by decapitation. His life and death were recorded by the historian Eusebius of Caesarea, who noted his various church offices and his work in healing the possessed.
