Kellia
Monastery · no year is recorded · Kellia
The inner desert beyond Nitria, where those who wanted to live more strictly withdrew to cells set far enough apart that no man could see or hear another. They met only on the Saturday and the Sunday, and a man missing from church was known to be ill.
No year is recorded anywhere. The era is fixed by Palladius of Galatia (431), whom the source names — that is not a founding date.
