http://syriaca.org/person/1250
George of Izla was a monk and a
convert from Zoroastrianism. His name was Mihrangusnap. He was noted for his
conversations with the Monophysites and opposition to Gabriel of Sinjar, a
convert from the Dyophysites to the Monophysites. Gabriel condemned George
to shah Kusro for leaving his Zoroastrianism, and thus George of Izla was
put to death.
