Life

Saint Basil, called the bishop, is commemorated on 12 October (new style, the Greek calendar) in the group of venerable ascetics of Cyprus from the 300 Alamanoi, together with Valantius, Barlaam, Barnabas the monk and others.

The synaxarion says nothing about his see or his life; all we know is that he was a bishop, and his memory is kept in the common commemoration of the group.
