We have measured the resistivity of a long-term-annealed Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub {ital x}} single crystal in magnetic fields up to 9 T. We found a nonlinear Arrhenius plot of resistive tails. This result differs sharply from previous observations. The fitting of the Arrhenius plot with thermally activated behavior of the form {rho}={rho}{sub 0}({ital H})exp({minus}{ital U}{sub 0}({ital T},{ital H})/{ital kT}) shows that the temperature and field dependence of the activation energy follows {ital U}{sub 0}={ital A}({ital H})(1{minus}{ital T}/{ital T}{sub {ital c}}){sup {ital m}} with {ital m}{gt}1. The prefactor {rho}{sub 0} has been found to be smaller than {rho}{sub {ital n}}, the normal-state resistivity at {ital T}{sub {ital c}}, and proportional to {ital H}/{ital H}{sub {ital c}2}. The possible mechanism associated with this nonlinear Arrhenius plot is discussed.
