The anchoret Procopios, the saint Porphyre bishop of Gaza (395-420) and the appearance of monasticism on the island of Rhodes

The purpose of this article is to examine the appearance and the first steps of monasticism on Rhodes, as well as to study the organiza-tion and the operation of this early period of the monastic life on the island.

Rhodes, the biggest of the islands of the Dodecanese, in the early Byzantine period was part of the province of Islands (provincia insu-larum) or Cyclades, which was a part of the dioecesis of Asia (dioece-sis Asiana), which belonged to the prefecture of the East (praefectura praetorio per Orientem). Christianity on the island began to spread pos-sibly in the middle of the 1rst century A.D. Ecclesiastically, Rhodes was the centre of the metropolis of the Cyclades from the late 4th century.

Monasticism on the island seems to have appeared around the end of the 4th century. Terminus ante quem must be considered the year 400 A.D. The Life of saint Porphyre, bishop of Gaza (395-420), refers to the anchoret Procopios, who led a monastic life on Rhodes around 400 A.D. In the same year, saint Porphyre, with other bishops of Palestine, trav-elled to Constantinople so that they would insure the issue of an imperial order for the destruction of the pagan temples in Gaza. During their travel, they stopped on Rhodes. On the island, they met the anchoret Procopios, whose assistance in the successful outcome of their mission was valuable.

The form of monasticism on Rhodes was the solitude type, of small solitary groups, guided by a spiritual father, like Procopios. Perhaps the latter was in charge of the spiritual guidance and supervision not only of his solitary group, but also of others, which may have existed on the is-land, as he was highly estimated, due to his ascetic life and his foresight.

The appearance of monasticism on Rhodes is attributed to the gen-eral spirit of the spread and development of monasticism noticed in that period, from the second half of the 3rd century and during the 4th century
