Martyr

George of Izla was a monk and a convert from Zoroastrianism. His name was Mihrangusnap. He was noted for his conversations with the Monophysites and opposition to Gabriel of Sinjar, a convert from the Dyophysites to the Monophysites. Gabriel condemned George to shah Kusro for leaving his Zoroastrianism, and thus George of Izla was put to death.

George the Priest is commemorated in George the Priest (text).
