There was a certain holy man whose name was Philagrius, who lived in Jerusalem, and he worked with his hands and toiled [to earn] the food which he needed ; and the old man rose up to see the work of his hands, and he found a purse containing one thousand darics which had dropped from some one [on the road], and he remained in the place where he was, saying, 'The man who lost this will come back seeking for it.' And behold the man did come back, and he was weeping, and the old man took him aside and gave him the darics ; and their owner laid hold upon him, and wished to give him some small sum of money, but the old man refused to accept anything. Then the owner of the darics began to cry out and say, 'Come you and see what the man of God has done'; but the old man fled secretly and departed from the city, lest what he had done should become known, and men should pay him honour because of it.
