The Russian Orthodox Encyclopedia counts him among the known elders of Dionysiou at the beginning of the twentieth century, with whose names stories of healings and of the salvation of souls are associated. The typikaris is responsible for the order of the services. No other facts of his life are kept in the source we have.
