                    In hagiography: Mar Bawai was commemorated
          as the Catholicos of the Church of the East from Tella. He was born a Zoroastrian and
          converted to Christianity through his encounter with a monk called Mar Abda from Qunni. He
          became a monk and was elected patriarch. His tenure was marked by the efforts of his
            rival Barsauma to "Nestorianize"
          the Church of the East. Bawai was killed, perhaps because Barsauma had accused him of
          being an enemy of the Sasanian empire.
