THEY were contemporaries with the great Theodoret, bishop of Cyr, and
lived in his diocese. The former dwelt in a cavern in a neighboring
mountain, and was endowed with extraordinary gifts of the Holy Ghost,
but was a treasure unknown to the world. His disciple St. Limneus was
famous for miraculous cures of the sick, while he himself bore patiently
the sharpest colics and other distempers without any human succor. He
opened his enclosure only to Theodoret, his bishop, but spoke to others
through a window. See Theodoret, Phil. c. 22.
