Wikipedia description:

Psote (died 300), also known as Bisada, Besada, Psate/Psati, Abashadi, Abassadius, or Beshada, was a bishop of Ebsay in Upper Egypt. He was martyred by beheading at Antinoe. St. Apa Psote was a revered Coptic Orthodox bishop from the city of Psoi, known for his devout faith and martyrdom during the Diocletianic Persecution, a time of severe repression against Christians in the Roman Empire. His feast day is observed on December 23 in the Coptic Church or on December 21 in some other churches.
