They said of Abba Saius and Abba Mue that they lived together. Abba Saius was outstanding in obedience, though he was very tough. The elder would sometimes test him by saying, “Go and plunder.” So he went and took things from the brothers out of obedience, thanking the Lord in everything; but the elder would take what he had seized and secretly return it. Once, while they were traveling, Saius became exhausted, and the Abba left him there worn out. When he reached the brothers he said, “Go and bring Saius, for he is lying there broken down.” They went and brought him.
