Usener, H., Legenden der heiligen Pelagia, Bonn, 1879.
♦ Romanticized life of Pelagia, who, after a life of sin in Antioch, came to Jerusalem and lived in male disguise in a hermitage on the Mount of Olives; d. ca. 457. Written by a contemporary witness, but perhaps inspired by the story of a Syrian peninent of the late fourth century; see Jo. Chrys., In Matth. hom. LXVII, PG 58, cols. 636–637.
