Life
Holy Venerable Pharmuthius of Egypt, a hermit, lived in the fourth century in the same desert in which the Venerable John, commemorated on 29 March, struggled in a well (a cistern). Saint Pharmuthius fed him.
The calendar page we rely on gives no other details of his life, so we add nothing that is not known for certain. He is commemorated on 24 April (new style).
