Holy Confessor Byzatenus is unknown to the synaxarists. He is mentioned in the Jerusalem Kanonarion, edited by Archimandrite Kallistos, on page 112. The calendar of the Church of Greece (new style) lists him on 25 September, together with Saint Theophilus, archbishop of Ephesus the confessor, and Sergius the wonderworker, the Russian. Other details of his life are not preserved.
