Life
Amoes was a hermit in Egypt in the 4th century, at Scetis. He is said to have lived and prayed in the desert for many years with Achillas, and the Greek Church called the two of them the “Flowers of the Desert”. He is commemorated on 17 January together with Achillas. He is no longer in the Roman Martyrology; nothing more is known. The date follows the Western calendar (new style).
