| ID | Title | E04127 | The anonymous Greek Life of *Martha (mother of Symeon the Stylite the Younger, S00864), recounts her holy life, death, and burial at the 'Wondrous Mountain', and several posthumous miracles. Written, probably by a monk of the monastery and shrine of the Wondrous Mountain near Antioch (Syria), probably in the 7th c. | E05075 | Evagrius Scholasticus, in his Ecclesiastical History (4.35), recounts miracles which occurred at the grave of *Thomas (monk, ob. c. 545, S01992) who died and was buried in Antioch (Syria) under Justinian. He is believed to have stopped the plague and his memory is celebrated by a yearly festival. Written in Greek at Antioch, 593/594. | E05302 | John Moschus, in his Spiritual Meadow (88), recounts miracles at the tomb of a certain *Thomas (monk, S01992), who died in the church of *Euphemia (presumably the martyr of Chalcedon, S00017) in Daphne near Antioch on the Orontes (north Syria). Initially buried in a cemetery of strangers, his body rejected the bodies of women buried over it. It was then reburied in the ancient Christian cemetery of Antioch (Koimeterion) and a small oratory was built over him. Written in Greek, probably in Rome, in the 620s or 630s. |
