                        Apalin was a desert ascetic known for his intense fasting.  He crossed rivers on the back of crocodiles which he later slew. He was commemorated in the
                        Syriac tradition via ʿEnanishoʿ's Syriac translation of
                            the Paradise of the Fathers by Palladius.  
                    
                        
                            Apalin is commemorated in Apalin (text).
