ID | Title | E02728 | Palladius of Helenopolis, in his Historical Dialogue on the Life of John Chrysostom, of 408 or shortly after, reports that, the Egyptian ascetic *Ammonios (ascetic of Kellia, ob. 403, S01263) was buried in 405 at the shrine of the Apostles across the sea from Constantinople (at Rufinianae, near Chalcedon); his tomb heals fevers. And that the Egyptian bishop and ascetic *Dioskoros (S01264) is buried at a martyr-shrine (martyrion) just outside Constantinople (presumably that of *Mokios, martyr of Byzantion, S01265). His tomb attracts more devotion than that of the martyr. Written in Greek at Syene (Aswan, Upper Egypt). | E02729 | Sozomen, in his Ecclesiastical History (8.17), mentions the shrine and monastery of the Apostles *Peter and *Paul (S00036 and S00008), founded by the patrician Rufinus (ob. 395), on his estate near Chalcedon (north-west Asia Minor, near Constantinople). In 403, it became the venue of the Council of the Oak, and resting place of the Egyptian ascetic *Ammonios (ascetic of Kellia, ob. 403, S01263), companion of the ascetic and bishop *Dioskoros (S01264), who was buried at the shrine of *Mokios (martyr of Byzantion, S01265) in Constantinople. Written in Greek at Constantinople, 439/450. |
