| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Pachomius |
 | | Having spent some time with Palemon, he went to a deserted village named Tabennisi, not necessarily with the intention of remaining there permanently. |
 | | A hermit would often withdraw for a time to some more remote spot in the desert, and afterwards return to his old abode. |
 | | But Pachomius never returned; a vision bade him stay and erect a monastery; "very many eager to embrace the monastic life will come hither to thee". |
