The Venerable Egyptian Hermits Killed by Fire and Smoke were, according to the page, ten thousand inhabitants of the Egyptian deserts, accused of Origenism and tortured around the year 398, in the time of Patriarch Theophilus of Alexandria. The real reason for their killing is thought to be that they had given shelter to the priest Isidore.
