| ID | Title | E07081 | The Greek Life of *Agapetos (bishop of Synaos/Synnada, ob. 4th c., S02696) recounts the life and manifold miracles of its hero, whom it portrays as a monastic, former Christian soldier, confessor of the persecution of Licinius, and bishop of Synaos (west central Asia Minor); several of the miracles recounted are very similar to accounts from lives of other 4th c. miracle-working bishops. Middle Byzantine in its extant form, the text is probably based on a late-antique model, written in Cyzicus or Synaos. |
