Notes
“Mar Awgen is the traditional founder of
monasticism in Mesopotamia.”1
In hagiography: Awgin (Eugene) was the
father of the monks of Mesopotamia who came from Egypt in the fourth
century with a group of disciples, including Aha and John, that established
monasteries in Mesopotamia.
See Budge for a list
of his disciples (of which some of them, like John bar Kaldūn, were made in
the tenth century).10
