                    In hagiography: Daniel of the Monastery of
                        the Dung Beetles was a refugee from Amida and student of Mar
            Mattai (his story mirrors the one of Behnam). He established a monastery near
          that of his teacher, Mar Mattai,
          with whom he had fled from Amida.
          The monastery he established was called the monastery of the yellow source. There was a
          miracle of protective beetles connected to this monastery.
