The Apophthegmata (a collection of sayings) is a work long attributed to the Egyptian desert father, St. Macarius the Great, although it is almost certainly composed by one of his monastic disciples at Scetis. It contains 41 short saying, composed in remembrance of the old abbot. Most of these saying are imploring his listeners on the necessity of humility and the observance of virtue in daily life. Some autobiographical material is included in this work as well, giving some context into the origin and early life of St. Macarius. This work is derived from the surviving Latin text, which is included, as well as the English translation of this work.

`Give me a word, Father', visitors to early desert monks asked. The responses of these pioneer ascetics were remembered and in the fourth century written down in Coptic, Syriac, Greek, and later Latin. Their Sayings were collected, in this case in the alphabetical order of the monks and nuns who uttered them, and read by generations of Christians as life-giving words that would help readers along the path to salvation.
