And I, Cryseos, being one of those in the desert, spread it abroad and gave it to all that were willing to learn it and profit by it.

2Therefore the angels of God helped to bury the body of Zosimus as a precious gift, and we saw the soul of the blessed one shining seven times brighter than the sun.

3And straightway upon that place there came up seven palm-trees and overshadowed the cave.

4There came up also a fountain of water in that place, holy water, and unto this day a healing and salvation to all the sick that come to it.

5Peace be to all that have heard the memorial of the holy Zosimus; the Lord is the advocate and helper of all to the endless ages of ages. Amen.
