Basilios 148 was a soldier (στρατιώτης)who became a monk and who suffered such intense torture under the emperor Constantine V (Konstantinos 7) for his support of icon veneration that he was blinded and his entrails protruded; he was then exiled: Synax. Eccl. Const., 263, 27-31. He is recorded together with Stephanos 2 (Stephen the younger) and other victims of Constantine V (Konstantinos 7).
