Dear Jean-Luc,
This is almost certainly an error for _Blavii epi_. _Blavius_ is Usuard's way of spelling the name of the saint whom we know as Blasius or Blaise and whom he, following Ado, placed in his martyrology under 15. February.
Here's Usuard's entry for him under that date as given in PL, vol. 123, col. 763, as reported in the Chadwyck-Healey _Patrologia Latina Database_:
Apud Sebasten civitatem, passio sancti Blavii episcopi, qui multorum patrator miraculorum, sub praeside Agricolano, post diutinam caesionem atque suspensionem in ligno, ubi pectinibus ferreis carnes ejus disruptae sunt, post teterrimum carcerem, ac demersionem laci, unde salvus exivit, jubente praefato judice, capite cum duobus pueris truncatur.
Best,
John Dillon
