A prolific writer, much of his work is no longer extant. His writings include an encomium on the Alexandrian [[martyr]]s Cyrus, a [[Melkite]], and John done in gratitude for the cure of his failing sight. He also composed 23 anacreontic odes on the feasts of the [[church]]. He is remembered most as the author of the Life of St. Mary of Egypt as well as a life of St. John the Almsgiver, a martyred [[priest]] of Rome. He composed an anthology, that is lost, of some 600 texts from the Greek Fathers stating the orthodox tenet on Dyothelitism. His ''Anacreontica 19 and 20'' consists of two poems that described a complete circuit through the most important sanctuaries of Jerusalem at the end of the sixth century, a time that has been described as the golden age of Christianity in the [[Holy Land]].
