Anonyma 46 was a poor woman living at Thessalonike whose little house (δωμάτιον) collapsed; she visited Gregory the Decapolite (Gregorios 79) and complained that she was too poor to build another one; he advised her to start the work herself and God would provide; when she began to dig in the foundations she unearthed a large quantity of pitch, which she then sold for a sum large enough to build a new house and to keep her supplied with the necessities of life: Ignatius, Vita Greg. Dec. 14.
