Life
Palladius was a great ascetic and wonderworker. Before his cell there appeared the corpse of a certain rich man, whom robbers had killed and plundered. When Palladius was dragged to court, he, in order to save himself from trouble, prayed to God and by prayer raised the dead man to life. He reposed in the fourth century.
