One of the saints, called Philagrios, lived in Jerusalem, working hard until he earned his own bread.

While he stood in the marketplace selling his handiwork, Behold! Suddenly he found a bag filled with a thousand gold coins!

He stood in place, saying, 'Certainly the one who has lost it is coming.'

And behold! That one came, crying.

The old man grabbed him and took him aside and he gave it to him.

and that one held him, wanting to give him a portion, but the old man did not want to take it.

Then he started to shout out, 'Come and see a man of God, what he has done!'

But the old man secretly fled and left the city, so that they would not know him.
