Is it physically possible to go without eating or drinking for forty days?
- Well, maybe that was a miraculous occurrence. Also, there may potentially have been some unusually high humidity or something else there at the time. I dunno. John Carter 19:02, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
The article gives the impression that St. Simeon lived in the desert. I think the various places he lived in were all in the vicinity of the Sheikh Barakat Mountain, with the Afrine River not far away. What do others think? Lynjane 14:46, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Date of death
The date "24 July 459" appears in various places on the net. Any ideas about this? -- JackofOz (talk) 02:08, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
