Basilios 48 was bishop of Oroboi; owner of a seal dateable to the ninth century: Laurent, Corpus V 1, 872 = Schlumberger, Sig., pp. 120-121 = Konstantopoulos, JIAN 5, 13 = Laurent, Bulles Métriques, no. 583. Obv.: + - τον σον - δουλο(ν) Βα - σιλειον - επισκ(οπον) Ο - ροβω[ν]. Rev.: + - Τρισαγ - ιε Κ(ύρι)ε δ(οῦλον) τ - ης Θεοτ(όκου) - σωσο(ν). The reading επισκ(οπον) Οροβω[ν] is preferred by Laurent, after examination of the piece, to the reading of earlier editors, επισκο(πον) [Π]ροβ(ατου). Oroboi is otherwise known only as a monastery; see Laurent, Corpus V 1, p. 682, note.
