Life
Venerable Nathanael was an ascetic of whose struggles Palladius speaks in the Lausiac History. He lived thirty-seven years in his cell, without ever going out, despite the traps the devil laid to draw him from his hut. He fell asleep in peace.
The verses of the synaxarion picture him crying, as he was about to die, that his soul should run to God, leaving the world. He is commemorated on 27 November (new style).
