In hagiography: Andronicus was a married man from Alexandria. His wife was Athanasia, and when their children died, they lived apart as monastics. In the Syriac version of the story of Athanasia, she is found living in the desert as a eunuch by the monk Daniel of Scetis. Daniel and his disciple give her the sacraments before she dies, and when she dies, they discover that she was a woman.
