Paschasios 1 was bishop of Ecclesia Decorianensis in Byzacena; in 645/646 he subscribed the letter sent from the bishops of Byzacena to the emperor Constans II (Konstans 1) asking him to persuade the patriarch of Constantinople, Paulos 2, to abandon the monothelete heresy; the letter was read out at the Lateran Council in October 649; in the list of signatures his name appears twenty-first: Conc. Lat., p. 77, line 37 ("Pascasius misericordia dei episcopus sanctae ecclesiae Decorianensis").
