He could have been. Monks never used their given names


David

There is a Sophronios entry in Panteleimon that is clearly Simonides

 

[Steven Avery]

hi David "my first stay. 2nd, I was at Mount Athos for political reasons, and was habited as a monk, and was known as Sophronius and not as Simonides. These matters would be well understood by those who know the peculiar relations of the Greeks, Roman Catholics, and Turks in those regions, but may be incomprehensible to some of your readers." Was he know AT Mt. Athos as Sophronius? Probably not?
