Life
Saint Silvanus was a young martyr and is commemorated on 6 February (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, together with Faustus and Basil.
The three were friends like brothers, young in age, and suffered by the sword. A verse of the synaxarion says that the three fellow contestants had one end, by the sword, and thought of God as one and three. They may be the same as Faustus, Basil and Lucian, commemorated on 25 October, since they share the same verse.
