Sabbas the Goth (Romanian: Sava Gotul, Greek: Σάββας ο Γότθος; died 12 April 372) was a Christian martyr venerated as a saint.

Sabbas (also Saba) was born in 334[2] in a village in the Buzău river valley and lived in what is now the Wallachia region in Romania[3] and converted to Christianity as a youth.

Sabbas stepped forward and proclaimed, "Let no-one swear an oath on my behalf.

Three days after Easter Atharid, the son of Athanaric's sub-king Rothesteus, arrived in the village to arrest Sansalas.

Saba was dragged naked through thorn bushes, then racked, alongside the priest Sansalas, to a wagon wheel, and whipped.

The Gothic prince Atharid sentenced Sabbas to death, ordering him to be thrown in the river Musæus, a tributary of the Danube.

Sabbas urged them to do their duty, proclaiming "Why do you waste time talking nonsense and not do what you were told to?

In response, Basil replied with two letters to Bishop Ascholius where he extolled the virtues of Sabbas, calling him an 'athlete of Christ' and a 'martyr for the Truth'.
