Life
Venerable Petronius was probably an ascetic of the desert who departed to the Lord in peace. No details about the place and time of his life have been preserved in the Greek synaxarion.
The verses dedicated to him compare him with Moses, covered by the rock when he saw God, and say that Petronius stood on an immaterial rock, playing on his name, which comes from the Latin petra, “rock”. He is commemorated on 23 October (new style).
