– Due to his knowledge and godliness, he was chosen to be a patriarch
– He endured many hardships during his papacy
– The governor arrested him and continue to torture him until the believers paid three thousand dinars for his freedom—God removed that governor quickly
– The next governor arrested the Pope also and asked for three thousand dinars, so the Pope went to upper Egypt and collected the amount for the governor
– Another evil governor ordered Christians to have the name of the beast on their wrist instead of the cross
– When this was also requested from the patriarch, he asked for a grace period of three days in which he locked himself in his cell asking the Lord Jesus to not forsake him, he then became sick and departed in peace
