Summary:
This chapter recounts the stories of the holy monk Zosimas, who lived at the village of Sinde near Tyre, and of Ioannes, a monk of Choziba and later bishop of Caesarea of Palestine.
While at Caesarea of Palestine, Zosimas miraculously sensed the great earthquake of Antioch in 526. This was witnessed by a certain Arkesilaos, a notable of Caesarea.
Ioannes was a contemporary of Zosimas, and comparable to him. He lived as an ascetic at Choziba and became bishop of Caesarea. At some point, the same Arkesilaos’ wife had an accident which caused the pupil of her eye to fall out. The injury was miraculously healed and the eye restored by Ioannes, then bishop of Caesarea, and the prodigy was miraculously revealed to Zosimas.
During a journey, Zosimas compelled a lion which had eaten his donkey to bear his burden and accompany him to the gates of Caesarea.
