Habib - ܚܒܝܒ
http://syriaca.org/person/1258
Habib was a deacon
of the village of Telshaha near Edessa. He continued, despite the
persecution that caused the death of Shmona and Guria, to
travel from village to village encouraging the Christians. It was in the
region of Zeugma on the Euphrates when he learned that Lysanius was looking
for him. He was imprisoned and burnt to death, and his mother accompanied
him to his death. He was entombed near Shmona and Guria.
