empress, beginning with these words: Herodias is again became
furious. But Montfaucon refutes this slander, trumped up by his
enemies. The sermon extant under that title is a manifest forgery,

of Comana, is evidently falsified by the mistake of copiers, as
Stilting demonstrates; who shows this Basiliscus to have suffered
not at Nicomedia, but near Comana, in the country where his relics
remained; the same that is honored on the 2d of March. It is without
grounds that Tillemont, Le Quien, &c., imagine there were two
martyrs of the same name, the one a soldier, who suffered at Comana
under Galerius Maximian; the other, bishop of that city. T. 5, in S.
