Now I shall begin to speak about Apa Evagrius, the deacon of Constantinople, upon whom Gregory the bishop laid his hands. It is fitting to recount the virtues of one to whom all ascribe glory, for he led an apostolic life. For truth itself required that his work be made known as something marvelous.

For it would not be the work of truth if we were to pass over in silence its marvelous deeds and progress. Rather, let those things which are useful for the edification and benefit of those who will read be written, so that praise may be given to God our savior, who grants to humans the power to perform these deeds. For He himself taught me the life that is in Christ, and he himself instructed me in the spiritual understanding of the Scriptures and in the discourses of the elders, as it is written: ‘So that sin might be revealed, for he is a sinner.’ The entire time he remained on the mountain, I too stayed with him, with our solitude shared together: I spent the night of the Sabbath and Sunday entirely with him.

But lest anyone should think that I ascribe glory to him or offer him praise, I call Christ as my witness that I saw most of his virtues with my own eyes, and that the miracles he performed were not done for his own glory, but for the benefit of those who will read or hear of them, so that they may praise Christ, who gives power to his servants and fulfills His will in them. Would that I were also worthy to teach you these things—namely, how he progressed from his beginning to this perfection and great asceticism, completing sixty years, and then rested, as it is written, ‘In a short time, he fulfilled many years.’

This man, of whom we speak, was of Pontic descent. He was the son of a presbyter from Iberia, whom Saint Basil, bishop of Cappadocia, ordained as a presbyter over the city near Arkeus. When blessed Basil died, Evagrius went to Constantinople, following his father, who was also a presbyter serving God. Evagrius, full of wisdom, followed in the footsteps of Saint Basil. He attached himself to Gregory, bishop of Constantinople, who, seeing his insight and understanding, which were truly good, ordained him as a deacon. For he was indeed a wise man, abstinent in his passions and an irreproachable deacon. He went to Constantinople along with our holy bishops, at the time when the synod was held in Constantinople.

Therefore, Evagrius and Nectarius the bishop disputed face to face with each other, for Evagrius was very vigilant in the Scriptures and prepared by his own wisdom and understanding to refute all heretics. Thus, throughout the entire city of Constantinople, he was renowned for boldly combating the heretics with splendid words, and the entire populace attributed much praise to him. After all this knowledge, however, because of the pride he possessed, the demon of feminine desire ensnared him in thought. But just as he later escaped the passions, he taught us these things.

But since Evagrius truly feared God, he did not sin with her, for the woman was married, and he guarded his own conscience, because the woman's husband was a man of great and most honorable lineage. Evagrius thought about his immunity to disgrace, about sin, judgment, and the joy with which heretics rejoiced after being confounded by him. He therefore prayed to God, ceaselessly imploring Him to aid him in his struggle against his passions in the battle imposed upon him. When the woman’s desire clung to him and persisted until he might succumb, he wished to flee her, but he could not find the strength. For his thoughts, like those of a child, were bound by pleasure. But divine mercy did not delay in seizing him; the grace of his prayers and supplications quickly came to him and gave him strength through a vision. Before anything evil happened with the woman, the Lord sent angels to him in a nighttime vision, dressed in splendid garments like the guards of an eparch. They seized him and dragged him away like one being led to judgment. They bound him, as with thieves, in a prison with other criminals, placing collars and shackles on him, though he knew not why they had taken him or what the cause was. He then realized that this was happening to him because he had considered, even in thought, standing before the eparch—the husband of the woman.

He was utterly astonished by these things. The angel who appeared to him changed his appearance and, in his presence, became like one of his friends who had come to comfort and encourage him. When the angel saw him bound with the criminals, he said to him: ‘Why have you been arrested, my deacon?’ He replied: ‘Truly, I do not know; but my mind tells me that I have accused a certain man, moved by jealousy. Therefore, fear lest he give silver to the judge and I perish here violently.'

The angel said to him: 'If you listen to me, your friend, surely it is not good for you to remain in this city.’ Evagrius said: ‘If God frees me from this necessity and you see me again in this city of Constantinople, say to me: 'You have deserved this punishment by right.'‘ But the angel, who had taken the form of a friend, said to him: ‘I will bring you the Gospel; swear to me: 'I will not remain in this city.' What is good for your soul, the Lord will provide, and I will free you from this necessity.’

Then he swore upon the Gospel, saying: ‘After one day, when I have placed my belongings on a ship, I will leave this city.’ As soon as he swore, he awoke from the vision he had seen during the night and said: ‘Even though I swore in a dream, still I have sworn an oath.’ He immediately rose, loaded his belongings and clothing onto a ship, and sailed to Jerusalem. Blessed Melania the Roman received him with joy. Once again, the devil hardened his heart, just as he had once hardened Pharaoh’s. His heart became wavering and conflicted: his youth luxuriated, as did his pride in words and his delight in the changes of fine clothing. He would change them twice a day, succumbing to pride and the pleasures of the body. But God, who always protects his people from ruin, sent him a fever so severe that he endured a prolonged illness, and his flesh became thin as a thread; yet all these pains afflicted him so secretly that doctors, unaware of his illness, were unable to cure him.

Saint Melania said to him: ‘My son Evagrius, this illness, which has been long for you, is a lesson for me: do not hide your thoughts from me, and perhaps I will heal you. Speak to me sincerely about your thoughts; otherwise, I see that this has not happened to you without God’s will.’ Then he revealed all his thoughts to her, and she said to him: ‘Promise me that you will take on the monastic habit, and although I am a sinner, I will pray to my God that He may grant you healing freely.’ He gave her the promise, and within a few days he was healed. He rose, put on the monastic habit, departed, and walked to Mount Pernoudj in Egypt. There he lived for two years, and in the third year he left. Then he entered the desert of Cellia, where he lived for sixteen years, practicing many exercises, and there he died at the age of sixty. He did not see the bitterness of old age or the weakness of the body, and so he rested, as it is written: ‘In a short time, he fulfilled many years,’ and he was swiftly carried to the Lord lest his understanding be corrupted by wickedness.

One day, our father Macarius was asked: ‘Father, how can I overcome the spirit of fornication?’ The elder said to him: ‘Do not eat at the appointed times, neither vegetables nor anything cooked with fire.’ That man was admirable, as his life was filled with the delights of peace and quiet. Indeed, it would not be fair to speak of his life without first recounting his old age. He prayed one hundred prayers every day, and he was also an elegant writer. When he had completed eight uninterrupted years of ascetic discipline, his bodily organs became afflicted; even the place where he passed water caused him pain, for his food was like stones in his stomach. The elders urged him to modify his ascetic practice. Until the time of his death, he did not eat bread, but only a few vegetables from among foods until he completed his short span of time. He neither ate fruit nor anything that gave pleasure to the body, and he did not allow his disciples to eat such things. This was the asceticism of his eating.

His sleep, however, was measured and divided: he slept for a third of the night, but never during the day. He had a corridor where, throughout the entire half of the day, he walked, weighed down with drowsiness, forcing his mind to contemplate visions that were revealed to him. At night, when he had already slept for a third of the night, he would spend the remaining part of the night walking through the corridor, meditating and praying, driving sleep away from himself, and compelling his mind to focus on the visions of the Scriptures. Thus, he became a man of the purest mind and of wisdom, knowledge, and discernment, and he was regarded as worthy of the grace of discretion, distinguishing the works of demons. In the holy Scriptures and the orthodoxy of the Catholic Church, he was eloquent and learned, for his knowledge and his chosen mind are attested to by the books he wrote. He wrote three books: one about the monks of monasteries, another about the monks who dwelled in the cells of his desert, and another about the presbyters of God, to make them vigilant in their holy place. These three books all taught a good life, ordered understanding, and visions in accordance with the orthodox traditions of the Church. For this was his custom.

Throughout the entire night, they would share their thoughts with him, listening to his strong words until dawn. When they left him, they gave glory to God, for his teaching was very sweet to them. If they came to him and he noticed any deep or grave thought troubling them, he would beseech them, saying: ‘My brothers, if any one of you is troubled by a deep or serious thought, let him remain silent until the other brothers have gone, and then let him ask me privately, in secret, between the two of us. Let him not speak before his brothers, lest perhaps he lose the little one through his own thoughts and be overcome at the same time by pain of heart.’ He so loved strangers that in his cell he would admit five or six strangers daily who came from distant regions to hear his wisdom, understanding, and ascetic practices. For he possessed spiritual gifts and to him everyone would send offerings such that he had more than two hundred charismata. All of these were managed by the steward, who at all times served in his house. Often Apa Theophilus sought to apprehend him and make him bishop of Thmouis, but he fled so that this would not happen.

One day, demons came to him and inflicted wounds upon him; we heard his voice, but we saw no one. Throughout the night, they struck him with scourges, and we saw the wounds on his body with our own eyes: God is our witness. If you wish to know about the temptations he endured from demons, read the book he wrote against the demons, and you will see his entire life and the various temptations he suffered. He wrote it for this reason, so that those who read might be strengthened, for they are not the only ones who are tempted; and he taught us how such thoughts and inclinations might be overcome.

One day, the demons increased fornication against him so much that they placed this thought in his heart: ‘God has forgotten me.’ As he told us, he spent the entire night naked in winter, praying until his flesh became as dry as stone. At another time, the spirit of blasphemy harassed him, and for forty days he did not enter the shelter of his cell. His entire body became inflamed, like an irrational beast filled with swelling. A few days later, he told us the visions he had seen and never concealed them from his disciples. He said: ‘During the night, I was sitting in my cell, burning with lamplight, meditating on one of the prophets. In the middle of the night, I was in a rapture of the mind, and I found myself, as it were, dreaming a dream, seeing myself suspended in the air, gazing at the clouds and the entire earth. And a certain one whose hands I was hanging from said to me: ‘Do you see all these things?’ For he had lifted me up to the clouds, and I was seeing the entire world at once. I said to him: ‘Indeed.’

He said to me: ‘I will give you a command: if you fulfill it, you will be made ruler over all these things that you see.’ He said to me: ‘Go, be merciful and humble; place your thoughts rightly in the Lord, and you will be ruler over all these things.’ And when he had spoken these words to me, again I saw myself holding the book, with the lamp burning, though I had been somehow caught up to the clouds. I did not know whether I was in the flesh—God knows—or in the spirit, I do not know; God knows. And so he strove for these two virtues (to be attained), as if he had attained all others, saying: ‘Humility leads to correct knowledge, and understanding aspires to the heights.’ For it is written: ‘He will teach the humble his ways.’ And this is the virtue of the angels.’ Concerning purity, he said: ‘Not only monks and virgins possess it, but many laypeople also maintain purity; for not all possess bodily purity.’ He continued: ‘Therefore, seek peace with all, and pursue purity. No one, unless pure, shall see the Lord.’ It was impossible to find a worldly word in the mouth of Apa Evagrius, or even a word of contention; nor would he listen to such from anyone else.

There, he found a woman possessed by an unclean spirit. Nothing created could satisfy her, for the demon had proposed to her a life resembling that of angels; but for many years, she did not lie with her husband. When Apa Evagrius, the man of God had met him, and with a single word he turned the woman’s heart to God, along with her husband’s. For she had been speaking externally of philosophy, yet unaware of what she was saying, such that it was wondrous for her to speak otherwise. She was saved in the Lord and reconciled with her husband through him.

On another occasion, an old man who was fleeing from the priesthood and living in the desert came to him. While traveling, his bread and that of his disciple failed, and the disciple was on the verge of collapsing from hunger on the way. But an angel brought bread before him and placed it on the mountain. When the old man reached the place of Apa Evagrius, he said to him: ‘As I was coming to you, my boy and I, on the road, we were starving and found no bread to eat. The boy nearly fainted from hunger, and when we had stretched out a skin and knelt down, as we fell to the ground, the scent of warm bread reached us. When I rose, I found two warm loaves. And when each of us had taken his share of bread, we ate and were strengthened, we traveled and came to you.’ And I also sat there while he spoke of these things and the wondrous deed that had happened to Apa Evagrius.

As I sat, he said: ‘Tell me, then, do you think that demons can accomplish these things?’ Apa Evagrius replied: ‘The same thing happened to both of us—you and I are witnesses. A few days ago, I also set out to visit the brothers, and as I walked along the road, I found a purse in which were three gold coins.’ After I sat down for a day, no one came to search for it, and because I did not know who it belonged to, I sent someone to the nearby villages, saying: 'Has anyone lost a purse in recent days?' When no one came forward, I gave an order to my steward and said: 'Distribute it among the pilgrims, whether it comes from angels or from the devil.' And we distributed it accordingly. Therefore, I give thanks to God, for such works do not pertain to the soul unless they lead it to be purified, are useful. However, I congratulate you for having received food from an angel; for demons, too, can bring bread, even steal it and offer it. But this bread does not nourish the body, for the bread of demons stinks, and if bread is from the devil, the soul is disturbed when it sees it. But if the bread is from an angel, the soul is not disturbed but remains in peace and tranquility. At that moment when someone is worthy to receive bread from the hands of angels, reason first provides discernment, if we recall the words of the Apostle, saying: ‘The food of the mature is for those who, because of their perfection, have trained their senses to discern what is good and what is evil.’

Another time, three demons approached him at midday, disguised in the form of ministers of the church. By their appearance, they displayed themselves as though they were righteous, and he did not immediately recognize them as demons. After they left and he found the door firmly closed, he knew they were demons, though at first he had not realized it. They showed themselves in such a way as to dispute with men of faith about the Scriptures and each of them presented him with a problem: ‘We have heard of you, that you speak beautifully of the orthodox faith; therefore, we have come to you to persuade our hearts concerning these matters which we question.’ He replied to them: ‘Say what you want.’ The first said: ‘I am a Eunomian, and I have come to you so that you may teach me whether the Father is unbegotten or begotten.’ Apa Evagrius said to him: ‘I will not answer you because you have questioned poorly, for it is not fitting to speak of what is unbegotten by nature as something begotten or unbegotten.’ When the first man knew that he had been defeated, he instructed his companion to proceed. The second man stepped forward and said to the first: ‘You questioned poorly.’ Apa Evagrius said to him: ‘And you, who are you?’ He replied: ‘I am an Arian.’ Apa Evagrius said: ‘And what do you seek?’ He said: ‘Concerning the Holy Spirit and about the truth of the saying that Mary bore God in the flesh.’ Then Saint Evagrius said to them: ‘The Holy Spirit is neither begotten nor created; for every created thing is comprehensible, mutable, and is sanctified by Him who chose to sanctify it.’ The third said: ‘You have defeated these […] The old man replied: ‘What are you seeking, you who boast of yourself before the battle?’ The demon replied: ‘I bring no ambiguity, but my heart is not persuaded, nor am I certain that Christ accepted human understanding. Instead, I believe divine understanding was in Him. For it cannot happen that a human spirit could drive out demons who dominate and overcome them. However, the human spirit does not exist in a body alongside God.’

Apa Evagrius said: ‘If He had not accepted the human spirit, He would not have taken on human flesh; for the Blessed Virgin Mary did not bear one without a human soul. In every human work, free from sin, this was fitting. For it is not possible that there be a body [….] soul and spirit. For unless He had received these, Christ would be called in vain. Therefore, the immutable Word, the Only-Begotten Son of the Father, assumed a human body, as well as a soul, spirit, and all things human, without sin.

Let us now simply bring forward Paul’s testimony, which says: to unite us into one faith, one divinity, one kingdom, because the Trinity is immutable. For he said: ‘There is one God and one mediator between God and humanity, Jesus Christ, the Son of God the Father, one Holy Spirit, one Catholic Church, one resurrection of the dead in time.’ Thus, Paul said, ‘[…] you have fully grasped the mystery of the Holy Trinity.’ One among you said the Word is a creature; another said the Holy Spirit and the body of Christ are creatures; another, however, killed the soul and body of Christ […].

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.

L0.5 transliteration
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).

L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.

L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.

English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
