Life
Saint Babylas the Venerable is commemorated on 28 December (new style, the Greek calendar). The synaxarion says of him only that he reposed in peace. A verse says that Babylas, casting off all the material burden, immaterial, comes to an immaterial place.
No further details of his life are preserved. A venerable Babylas is also recalled in the Parisian codex 1578, alongside Athenodorus and Benjamin.
Commemorated the same day December 28
