                    In hagiography: Zayna, a bishop and martyr,
          and his sister Sarah, were a
          brother and sister pair similar to Behnam and Sara.
          Their cult in Tagrit was a rival
          to that of Behnam and Sara at Mar Mattai. Zayna was the son
            of Ator, a king. He became a monk and bishop. Their story was
          elaborate and involved dragons, healed kings, profitable caravans, and supernatural
          senses. The cult of Zayna and Sarah was very popular in Qaraqosh.
