Other Fathers
The Desert Fathers were early monastics living in the Egyptian desert; although they did not write as much, their influence was also great. Among them are Anthony the Great and Pachomius. A great number of their usually short sayings is collected in the Apophthegmata Patrum ("Sayings of the Desert Fathers").
A small number of Church Fathers wrote in other languages: Ephrem the Syrian and Isaac of Nineveh for example, wrote in Syriac, though their works were widely translated into Latin and Greek.
