Pope Saint Evaristus was the fifth pope, holding office from 98/99 to 106/107 ([http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05646a.htm Catholic Encyclopedia) or from 99 to 108 (Annuario Pontificio). He was also known as Aristus.
Little is known about Evaristus. According to the Liber Pontificalis, he came from a family of Hellenic origin. He was elected during the reign of the Roman Emperor Domitian, the time of the second general persecution.
Eusebius, in Ecclesiastical History IV, I, states that Evaristus died in the 12th year of the reign of the Roman Emperor Trajan, after holding the office of bishop of the Romans for 8 years.
Although there is no historic proof refuting or confirming the claim, he has always traditionally been considered a martyr. His memorial or feast day is October 26.
