Life

Basil was a martyr of Constantinople, of the quarter called "ta Dareiou", commemorated together with Faustus and Silvanus. They were close friends like brothers, young in age, and suffered by the sword. The Greek synaxarion notes that they may be the same as the martyrs Faustus, Basil and Lucian, commemorated on 25 October, since they have the same couplet. We have no other details about their martyrdom. The commemoration falls on 6 February (Greek synaxarion, new style).

Commemorated the same day February 6
