‘After the tradesmen saw what had happened, they were very much amazed and spoke with each other, saying: “Great is the suffering of this man! If only he would have been able to go to the monastery of Apa Romanos and the saint Archellides would have prayed for him, he would recover from his suffering. For great are the miracles which God has performed through him.”’
