WHY also need I mention the acts of Abbot Abraham, who was surnamed
[haplou^s], i.e., the simple, from the simplicity of his life and his
innocence. This man when he had gone from the desert to Egypt for the
harvest in the season of Quinquagesima was pestered with tears and
prayers by a woman who brought her little child, already pining away and
half dead from lack of milk; he gave her a cup of water to drink signed
with the sign of the cross; and when she had drunk it at once most
marvellously her breasts that had been till then utterly dry flowed with a
copious abundance of milk.
