Abstract
According to the earliest tradition St. Mamas of Caesarea in Cappadocia, a young shepherd of Mount Argaios, was martyred during the reign of Emperor Aurelian. In competition with this version the so-called aristocratic Vita was composed in which Mamas was a noble child of a senator family who was condemned to death by the Emperor himself. The so-called encyclical Vita BHL 5191d arose on the basis of the original Passio of Mamas by the addition of a short introduction, while the Vita BHG 1019 is the result of the combination of the Passio and the aristocratic Vita.
