St.Ephrem (sometimes called Ephraim) is highly regarded by Eastern Orthodox.As this article points out his famous prayer of repentance is always recited during the Presanctified Liturgies of Lent.

I recently obtained a newly published copy of his celebrated "Spiritual Psalter"-- comprising a selection of 150 short poetic prayers excerpted by 19th century Russian Bishop Theophan the Recluse.They were written about 320 AD, ie just before the Nicene council which he subsequently attended.

Thank you for going to the effort of posting this.Especially enjoyed the iconography.
