Saint Aedesius of Alexandria (Greek: Αιδέσιος; died 306) was an early Christian martyred under Galerius Maximianus. He was the brother of Saint Amphian. According to the martyrology, he publicly rebuked a judge who had been forcing Christian virgins to work in brothels in order to break them of their faith, so he was tortured and drowned.[3]
