As for his venerable body, it befell thus; about the very hour of
Ioasaph's death, there came by divine revelation, from one of the
neighbouring cells, a certain holy man. It was the same that once
pointed out to Ioasaph his way to Barlaam. This man honoured the
corpse with sacred hymns, and shed tears, the token of affection, over
him, and performed all the last Christian rites, and laid him in the
sepulchre of his father Barlaam; for it was only meet that their bodies
should rest side by side, since their souls were to dwell through
eternity together.

In obedience to the strict command of a dread Angel that appeared to
him in a dream, this hermit, who had performed the last rites,
journeyed to the kingdom of India, and, entering in to King Barachias,
made known unto him all that had befallen Barlaam, and this blessed
Ioasaph. Barachias, making no delay, set forth with a mighty host, and
arrived at the cave, and beheld their sepulchre, and wept bitterly over
it, and raised the gravestone. There he descried Barlaam and Ioasaph
lying, as they had been in life. Their bodies had not lost their
former hue, but were whole and uncorrupt, together with their garments.
These, the consecrated tabernacles of two holy souls, that sent forth
full sweet savour, and showed naught distressful, were placed by King
Barachias in costly tombs and conveyed by him into his own country.

Now when the people heard tell of that which had come to pass, there
assembled a countless multitude out of all the cities and regions round
about, to venerate and view the bodies of these Saints. Thereupon,
sooth to say, they chanted the sacred hymns over them, and vied one
with another to light lamps lavishly, and rightly and fitly, might one
say, in honour of these children and inheritors of light. And with
splendour and much solemnity they laid their bodies in the Church which
Ioasaph had built from the very foundation. And many miracles and
cures, during the translation and deposition of their relics, as also
in later times, did the Lord work by his holy servants. And King
Barachias and all the people beheld the mighty virtues that were shown
by them; and many of the nations round about, that were sick of
unbelief and ignorance of God, believed through the miracles that were
wrought at their sepulchre. And all they that saw and heard of the
Angelic life of Ioasaph, and of his love of God from his childhood
upward, marvelled, and
