Abstract
Since the XI century, when it is mentioned for the first time, the Kabasilas
family provides a number of prominent figures, in Constantinople, Macedonia,
Epirus and Illyricum. Among them is the Bishop of Strumica Constantine
Kabasilas who for the first time is mentioned in 1220, and also appears as author
of two canones for the service of the Holy Fifteen martyrs of Tiberiopolis. In
the next few decades in the historical sources, a bishop with the same name
and surname is found as a head of several church eparchies. This fact raises the
question of whether it is the same person or, several hierarchs named Constantine
Kabasilas acted in approximately same period. Our research aims to give an
answer exactly to this question.
