Makarios 11 was a spiritual father (ὁ κύριος Μακάριος καὶ πνευματικὸς πατήρ); he won the approval of Theodore the Stoudite (Theodoros 15) by visiting and comforting the wife and children of a suicide in the town of Antisarchos, when their neighbours and fellow townsfolk turned their backs on them; he is mentioned in a letter to Laurentios 4, who probably lived in Antisarchos: Theod. Stud., Ep. 449 (a. 821/826). He was evidently a holy man, possibly a monk and a hegoumenos.
