 Presbyter, (like a bishop). I lived in a cave, doing penance. My ministry was to other monks and priests.
The granddaughter of the Spaniard, St. Melania the Great, Melania the younger once gave me five hundred solidi. I shared the funds with the other brothers. I kept three solidi. The rest I gave to another anchorite, Diocles, to distribute to those needy. Sept. 16 or 18 Sept.
