Ethiopian, first the leader of a band of robbers, and then a great penitent and ascetic. Some misdeed caused him to have a guilty conscience and he went to a monastery. Later, he retreated to a quieter place. He was severely tormented by the demon of fornication and the priest Isidore advised him to fast as much as possible and not to eat until full. After that, he prayed standing up all night. After 6 years of hard work, St. Isidore healed him of lewd thoughts, fantasies and dreams. He was ordained a priest in his old age. He founded his own monastery where he had 75 students. He foresaw that the barbarians would attack the monastery and told the disciples to run away, while he stayed with 6 comrades to die of violence because he used to commit violence himself. The barbarians cut him down when he was 75 years old.
