The incident is often held to be Jesus healing the man blind from birth in John 9,[5][3] but the man healed in this incident is more commonly associated with St. Celidonius, Protobishop of Nîmes.

The name Sidonius literally means "from Sidon", so he could have been part of the Syro-Phoenician crowd that followed Jesus in Matthew 15:21 and Mark 7:24.

Sidonius became the first bishop of Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux until the death of Maximinus, whereupon he succeeded him as Archbishop of Aix.

His relics were unceremoniously stored away in 20th Century and were rediscovered recently along with Dominican documents proving their authenticity.

[2][5] Nevertheless, the name Restitutus means 'the Restored One' (which likely refers to the saint's healing at the hands of Jesus) so it is possible that Restitutus is a nickname and the two names refer to the one person.
