From the Prologue of Ochrid
A great ascetic and wonderworker from the Egyptian desert; a contemporary of Patriarch Theophilus and Emperor Theodosius the Great. He was called the Standard-Bearer because by his prayers he once helped Emperor Theodosius win a victory over an enemy army. When the emperor invited him to come to Constantinople, he replied that he could not come, but he sent him his own poor monastic robe and a staff. Going to war, the emperor put on the robe of Senouphios and took the staff. And he returned from the war victorious.
