From the Prologue of Ochrid
An unmercenary healer. A disciple of Saint Anthony of the Caves. He healed people by prayer and by giving them herbs from which he made his own bread. Thus he healed Prince Vladimir Monomakh, for which he became renowned everywhere. The prince's physician, a certain Armenian, grew envious and began to slander him. When Agapitus fell ill, this Armenian came and, looking at him, told him he would die in three days; and if he did not die, he, the Armenian, would become a monk. Agapitus told him that it had been revealed to him by the Lord that he would not die in three days but in three months. And so it came to pass. After the death of Agapitus the Armenian came to the abbot of the Caves and asked to be tonsured, for, he said, Agapitus had appeared to him from the other world and reminded him of his promise. And so the former envious man became a gentle monk by the Providence of God, Who desires that all men be saved. Saint Agapitus reposed around the year 1095.
“We do not think so; we know it.”
