A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

or, as Photius calls him, JOANNES the son of MOSCHUS, surnamed Εὐκρατᾶς, or, what appears to be a corruption of that, Eviratus, was first a monk in the monastery of St. Theodosius at Jerusalem, afterwards lived among the anchorites in the desert on the banks of the Jordan, and subsequently filled the police of

canonarchus in the convent of St. Saba. Bellandus gives A. D. 620 as the date of his death.
