Sy'meonPIUS24. PIUS, VENERABILIS or STUDITA. Symeon, denominated by his admirers ὁ εὐλαβής, " the Pious," or, as Combéfis renders it, " the Venerable,"
was a monk of the monastery of Studium at Constantinople, in the latter half of the tenth
century. His younger namesake, Symeon of St. Mamas [No. 16], was his disciple, and held him in
such reverence as to pay to his memory honours which were deemed unauthorized and excessive,
and involved the younger Symeon in difficulties with his ecclesiastical superiors.
