 It is more likely the contemporary Philip the Arab of whom Eusebius ("Historia ecclesiastica", VI, 34) reports that a bishop would not let him enter the gathering of Christians at the Easter vigil.Later legend elaborates on this, stating that Babylas demanded that he do penance for his part in the murder of the young Gordian III before he would allow Philip to celebrate Easter.In 351 the Caesar Constantius Gallus built a new church in honor of Babylas at Daphne, a suburb of Antioch, and had the remains of the bishop transferred to it.
