Stylite
Symeon
Archimandrite and stylite near Anaplous
An archimandrite and stylite who struggled on the Bosporus beyond Anaplous.
Life
Venerable Symeon was an archimandrite and stylite. The Greek synaxarion calls him the one beyond Anaplous, a place on the Bosphorus shore, and commemorates him on 26 July (new style).
He is not found in the Synaxarion of Saint Nicodemus the Hagiorite. His name appears only in manuscripts: Codex Patmos 266 and Codex Vienna Theol. gr. 300, as well as in Delehaye's synaxarion, but without a biography. Nothing is known of his life beyond his title.
