Life
Saint Biblis is a woman martyr of Lyon, of the persecution of the year 177, recorded by Eusebius of Caesarea as one who first denied the faith under torture and then confessed it. Her name is among those that the Roman Martyrology names on 2 June among the martyrs of Lyon, alongside Bishop Pothinus, Blandina and others, whose combats, in the time of the emperors Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, are recorded in a letter from the church of Lyon to the churches of Asia and Phrygia. One source shows her as a slave, like Blandina. She is a saint of the undivided Church.
