Nasar

Nasar (), originally baptized Basil (), was a distinguished Byzantine military leader in the Byzantine–Arab conflicts of the latter half of the 9th century.

==Biography== Not much is known about Nasar's family. His father Christopher held the supreme court position of magistros, and he had a brother named Barsanes. On account of his name, the historian Michele Amari speculated that he was of Syrian, perhaps Mardaite, origin.
