Well, if Brother Thomas can't be sure, it's time to pick & choose
depending on what meets the LgA's actual text, which I don't have. What I
do have is Holweck's Biographical Dictionary of the Saints (1924), from
which I get these possibilities of "Moses" explicitly an abbot at some
time:
Moses, abbot, C. (different from S. Moses, bishop of the Arabs). He was
an abbot in the desert of Scete, who was killed with six of his monks by
a band of marauding Arabs in the 5th century. F. 7 Feb.--H.L.
Moses, abbot, Isaac, abbot of Gorina, Mark "the Rich, Patanius, Thomas,
and companions, Cc., era and place unknown. F. 17 Apr., Mz.
H.L. = Heiligen-Lexicon, oder Lebensgeschichten aller Heiligen. Von Dr.
J. E. Stadler, Augsburg, 1861.
Mz. = Menologium der Orthodox-Katholischen Kirche des Morgenlandes. Von
Propst Maltzew. Berlin, 1900.
There are a number of other Moseses, but not pegged as abbots.
