He was. educated under bishop Otreius, who ordained him priest, and intrusted him with the direction of the monasteries of Melitene. In 406 he went to Palestine, and retired into a cell near Jerusalem. Soon after he was joined by a great number of recluses, who chose him as their superior.

[[Euthymius]] converted to [[Christianity]] a large number of Arabians, and brought back to the orthodox Church several [[Nestorians]] and ManichMeans, Through his entreaty also the empress Eudoxia, the wife of Theodosius the younger, entered into the bosom of the [[Catholic]] Church. There was also attributed to Euthymius the power of performing miracles. He died in 473. After his death he was revered as a saint, first in the East, and then in the West. See Hoefer.
