Life

He was first a soldier, and when in a certain battle he received a wound to the head, he withdrew from the world to the Monastery of the Caves where he was healed and received monasticism. He spent his time in constant lamentation over his former sins. Before his death he was informed through a certain heavenly apparition that all his sins had been forgiven. His relics rest in the Caves of Theodosius.
