Longinus (abbot)

[2] He and his teacher, Lucius the Ascetic, who is also the subject of the hagiography, worked so many miracles in Syria that they became quite famous.

After Dioscorus sent a statement of his Miaphysite faith to the Enaton, Longinus led the opposition to the council.

He staunchly opposed the Emperor Marcian and played a role in electing a rival anti-Chalcedonian patriarch, Timothy II, to succeed Dioscorus.

A woman had an illness they call cancer of the breast; she had heard of Abba Longinus and wanted to meet him.

Later, telling others what had happened and mentioning the distinctive marks of the old man, she learned that it was Abba Longinus himself.
