Life
He lived a holy life in a monastery in Egypt. A certain brother of his, out of envy, slandered him for sacrilege — the theft of church objects. They stripped the innocent Dulas of his monastic robe and handed him over to the governor for judgment. The governor ordered him flogged and wished to cut off his hands, in accordance with the law for such offenses, but at that point the brother repented and declared Dulas's innocence. Returned to the monastery after twenty years of exile and humiliation, he reposed in the Lord on the third day. His body miraculously vanished.
