                    In hagiography: Elijah of Ḥirta(al-Hira) was a monastic founder
          from the sixth century. He was an Arab, a Lakhmid, who joined the monastery at Mount Izla and became a disciple of its
          founder, Abraham. He drove away corrupt monks. He left Mount Izla and established a monastery
            near Mosul. He was widely
          venerated by the Arab Christians.
