Basilios 124 was a patrikios and eparch of the Polis (i.e. Constantinople); Basilios 124 was the addressee of a letter from the patriarch Photius (Photios 1), written between April 862 and April 866, in which Basilios 124 is criticised for his injustice and cruelty; Photios 1 says that while he is in office men better qualified have to endure his yoke and, if what they say about him is true, he should mend his ways: Photius, Ep. 13 (I 65 Laourdas-Westerink) (addressed Βασιλείῳ πατρικίῳ καὶ ἐπάρχῳ πόλεως).
