Basilios 160 was a spatharokandidatos; Basilios 160 is named on two inscriptions from Ankyra, dateable between 855 and 867: Grégoire, "Inscriptions" I, 444-449, esp. 444ff. (inscription recording improvements to the city walls, dated in the sole reign of the emperor Michael III (Michael 11), i.e. 855/867; Grégoire dated it to 10 June 859; the name and title read: Βασιλίο(υ) σπαθ(αρο)καν(διδάτου)), and Grégoire, "Inscriptions" II, 341ff. (a similar inscription, probably from the same period and recording the same person; the name and title read: Βασηλήο σπαθαροκανδιδάτο.)
