I was recently commissioned to translate some profound and inspiring works by our Righteous Father Alexei Mechev, which I put together in a booklet. Unfortunately, after printing 500 copies, circumstances changed and the one who commissioned the work has been hospitalized and called off the purchase. Since I am at an unforeseen personal loss with this, I wanted to make these never before translated texts available to my followers for only $11.95 a copy, which includes shipping and handling in the United States (orders outside the US, please use a pay button towards the bottom of this page and include $5 for a total of $16.95). I would like to sell all of these as quick as possible, and it would be great reading material for the lenten season. As an added incentive, for the first 50 people who order, I will also offer a never before published text by Fr. John Romanides titled "The Canon and the Inspiration of the Holy Scripture" free of charge.

Venerable Julian which is in Dagouta

Venerable Julian which is in Dagouta (Feast Day - June 12)

Verses

Julian, the great Father is buried,
Arriving in the grave at the threshold of his days.

Venerable Julian met his end in peace.

Dagouta seems to be the place where Venerable Julian had a church dedicated to him. It is variously spelled in sources, such as Dagazou, Dagatou, and Dagouti. Some place the location of this church in Constantinople, probably near the Church of Saint Anastasia and the Hippodrome.

However, Dagouta is placed by Ptolemy in Greater Mysia. Constantine Porphyrogennitos places in the interior of Bithynia a people Dagotthenoi, connecting them with the Mysian Olympos and with Prousa. He, however, conceives that the Dagotthenoi live between Olympos and the sea, towards Prousa. This situation is not consistent with Ptolemy, who has, however, very hazy ideas about Dagouta, and cannot rank so high as an authority in this case. Furthermore, Mount Dagouta in Bithynia is a place where ascetics dwelled.
