Life
Saint Arsenius, a venerable monk, lived about the ninth century and struggled as a monk in Lower Italy, together with Saint Elias the Cave-dweller. Because of the Arab raids, they fled for a time to Patras in Greece. They are remembered on 11 September, and the link with Patras brings him also into the synaxis of the saints of Achaia. He is counted as a saint of the undivided Church. Our sources give no further details of his life.
