Papirius of Smyrna (2nd century) was the successor of Polycarp as the bishop of Smyrna.[1] Little information is known about him.[2] He was mentioned by Polycrates of Ephesus, as Papirius defended quartodecimanism against keeping Easter on the Sunday after 14 Nisan.[3][4] At the end of his life, Papirius experienced martyrdom.[5]
