Basiliscus (2),

saint and martyr, is said to have lived in the 4th century, to have been a soldier, and to have been martyred at Comanes, in Pontus, about 306. The Greeks mark his festival on May 22. He is probably the same as the preceding. Landon, Eccles. Dict. s.v.

Another of the same name is mentioned by Ruinart in connection with St. Mamas, to whom, with Basiliscus, a church was dedicated at Constantinople, their day being July 29.
