an Italian solitary, is mentioned by pope St. Gregory in his Dialogues, who states that he lived a holy and regular life at a place some twelve leagues from Rome, and that the Goths endeavored to destroy him and. his monastery by fire; but that himself, his monks, and the building were miraculously preserved. He is inserted in the Benedictine Martyrology, but there is no reason whatever to suppose that he belonged to that order. He lived about the time of St. Gregory.
