The holy man is described as a religious figure with an eccentric appearance. That difference brought him into conflict with others, and he was buried in sand as punishment; beyond this episode, the account provides no further details of his life.
Description
The account calls him eccentric in appearance but does not explain what made him look unusual. His face, complexion, hair, build, age, and garments are left unspecified, so no more precise visual portrait can be established.
