Hyperechius

Venerable Hyperechius was an ascetic and monastic writer active in the late fourth century or early fifth century. Most likely he lived in Egypt or Roman Palestine.

He is known from the Sayings of the Desert Fathers and from a collection of one hundred and sixty sayings called the Exhortation to the Monks (Paraínesis Askētȏn). Our sources do not give the day of his commemoration and say no more about his life.
