                    ʿAbdā Alaha, priest, was tortured
            with ʿAbdishōʿ by Ardashir,
          brother of Sapor; ʿAbdā was arrested with seven friends and seven virgins. Barḥaḏbshabā
          and Samuel also were executed. Then ʿAbdishōʿ and ʿAbdā Alaha were executed. They were
          buried by Byzantine slaves in a neighboring village. He was martyred with 38
          companions.
                    
                        The saint is venerated on 16 May in East Syrian church.
