St. Moses answered him, "Probably it is me, for it is written: 'For all they that take with the sword, shall perish with the sword.'" (Matt. 26:52).
After they returned to the monastery, it did not take long until the Berbers attacked the monastery.
He told the brethren, "Whoever wants to escape, let him escape."
They asked him, "And you O father, why do you not also escape?"
He replied that he had waited for this day for long time.
The Berbers entered the monastery and killed him with seven other brothers. One of the brethren was hiding, and saw the angel of the Lord, with a crown in his hand standing by and waiting for him. He went out from his hiding place to the Berbers and he was also martyred.
