Авва Иеракс
Machine translation from the original · Show original
Abba Hierax lived in the Nitrian desert. One day demons came to him in the form of Angels; tempting him, they said to him: “You have another fifty years to live: how can you withstand such a long time in this terrible desert?”
He answered them: “You upset me by assigning me to live a few years: I prepared for patience for two hundred years.” Hearing this, the demons left, emitting cries 632.
