The first author to write about San Priscus was the Italian bishop Saint Pontius Anicius Meropius Paolinus in his book Carme or Carmen, vol.

Ponzio Anicio Meropio Paolino, "Fonte sacrata dies illuxerat illa beatinatalem Prisci referens, quem te Nola celebratquamvis ille alia nucerinus EpiscopusUrbe sederit."

Giovanni Antonio Remondini (1751), "Della nolana Ecclesiastica storia" [Of the Nolan Ecclesiastical History], Splendea quel dì nella città di Nolafestivo a Prisco che pastor già resselà dei pagani e picentin Nocera.

[1] Vincenzo D'Avino in his book the Ecclesiastic's Encyclopedia, volume 3, even if he cites two authors who speak of the exploits of San Priscus, the first Saint Pontius Anicius Meropius Paolinus and the second, more recent Ludovico Antonio Muratori famous presbyter, Italian historian, expressly states that there is no certain proof of his life.

Impressed by this miracle, the pontiff gave Priscus a large marble fountain which the saint transported to Nocera with the sole aid of two vaccarelle (cows).

[6] Furthermore, to satisfy the needs of his thirsty companions, the saint made a doe appear out of nowhere who quenched their thirst with her own milk, heating them with burning embers that she had kept under her tunic.

Finally, the miracle of the separation of the split mountain, a pass (probably Roman work) located on the border between the municipalities of Nocera Inferiore and Castel San Giorgio, as reported in the first volume of the historical novel by Andrea Calenda di Tavani, entitled: Ramondello Orsino, storia napoletana del Trecento.

At the end of May 2024, several million euros were obtained directly from the Italian Ministry of Culture for the adaptation of the entire religious complex, as the building needed major redevelopments after the 1980 Irpinia earthquake.

[17] The diocesan museum dedicated to San Prisco di Nocera was opened on the initiative of the then bishop of Agro-Nocerino-Sarnese Gioacchino Illiano in 2008, to enhance and preserve the works of art of the area.

In the museum there are various finds from the countryside of valuable artistic and cultural value and also the famous silver bust, with gilded parts and containing precious stones of San Prisco, created around 1771 by the artist Savero Manzone at the behest of the then bishop of Nocera de' Pagani Benedetto dei Monti Sanfelice (in ancient times Nocera was a single municipality until the definitive division of the two cities occurred in 1851).
