Brief summary:
The author probably poses as Rhodon, the follower of the Apostle Barnabas (Acts 21:16) and of the bishops Herakleides and Mnason. He wrote the account after the death of a certain Theodoros who left him an account of the life of Mnason.
The whole text is a sequence of miracles performed by Heraklides, recounting the healing of sick and possessed people, and the ordination of clerics at various places in Cyprus. Herakleides dies a peaceful death and is buried at a cave near Tamasos in central Cyprus.
