Barlaam and Josaphat
A powerful sorcerer and idolater summoned by the temple priests to help win the king's son back from Christianity through demonic seduction.
Then Theudas said to the king:
For he made countless efforts to bring to effect the things commanded him by Theudas.
Then Theudas wove his crime like a sharpened razor, and dreadfully prepared his drugs.
