Valantius

Saint Valantius is commemorated on 12 October (new style, the Greek calendar) in a group of venerable ascetics of Cyprus drawn from the 300 Alamanoi. The Greek synaxarion names together Valantius, Barlaam, Barnabas the monk, Basil the bishop, the Georges of Vavatsinia, Epitidiotes, Perachorio and Salamanis, Demetrian the bishop, Irenikos or Arniakos, Elpidius and Epaphroditus.

The source states that no details of their lives are preserved. For Valantius neither office, place nor year is known.
