In hagiography: John of Kamul was born to a pagan family, from a royal Sasanian line. He was converted and tried to convince Shapur his cousin not to persecute Christians. Mar Awgin baptized him under the name of John. He lived in a cave near Mount Gudi and performed many miracles. The monastery of John of Kamul in Gazarta bears his name.
