Ioannes 94 was known as the Hesychast, he was a cave-dwelling monk, credited with the spirit of prophecy; he supposedly related how two hegoumenoi, Euthymios 2 and Ioseph 5, victims of persecution by the patriarch Photius (Photios 1), visited him and were strengthened spiritually by him; he was later visited and attacked by a demon but rendered him powerless by the sign of the Cross: Ps.-Symeon 672-673(διηγήσατο ἡμῖν Ἰωάννης ὁ Ἡσυχαστής, ἀνὴρ θεοφόρος καὶ προορατικὸς ἀληθές). The story is one of several hostile to Photios 1.
