Life

Saint Basil, a venerable monk, is called in the Greek Menaion bishop of Patelaria and is remembered on 22 June, by the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style). The Menaion places him in the same list as the Hieromartyr Eusebius of Samosata, on a day on which the martyrs Zeno, Zenas and Pompeian are also recalled. Our sources say nothing of his life.

Commemorated the same day June 22
