Basil, bishop of Cæsarea in Cappadocia, the city formerly called Mazaca, composed admirable carefully written books Against Eunomius, a volume On the Holy Spirit, and nine homilies On the six days of creation, also a work On asceticism and short treatises on various subjects. He died in the reign of Gratianus.

Basilius, Caesareae Cappadociae, quae prius Mazaca vocabatur, episcopus, egregios contra Eunomium elaboravit libros, et de Spiritu sancto volumen, et in Hexaemeron homilias novem, et ἀσκητικὸν, et breves variosque tractatus. Moritur imperante Gratiano.

Βασίλειος, Καισαρείας τῆς Καππαδοκῶν, ἥτις πρῶτον Μάζακα ἐκαλεῖτο, ἐπίσκοπος, κατὰ Εὐνομίου ἐξαιρέτους συνέταξε λόγους, καὶ περὶ Πνεύματος ἁγίου τεῦχος, καὶ εἰς τὴν ἑξαήμερον ὁμιλίας ἐννέα, καὶ ὀσκητικὸν, καὶ βραχείας καὶ ποικίλας ὁμιλίας. Τελευτᾷ βασιλεύοντος Γρατιανοῦ.
