Hegumen, companion of the Monk Euthymius the Great. Together with him he asceticised in the Faransk monastery, then for great exploits the saints retired to the Kutilly desert, where they spent time in fasting and prayer in a cave. But soon their holy life became known, and lovers of monastic life began to flock to them.
