Life
Holy Martyr Barnabas is commemorated on 31 October (new style, the Greek calendar) in a group of nine martyrs, together with Stephen, Trophimus, Dorymedon, Cosmas, Damian, Sabbas, Bassus and Abramius, and with their companions. A verse says that nine athletes, with the multitude of those who contested alongside them, shared equal crowns in heaven.
The synaxarion says that no details of their lives are known. Place and time are not preserved.
