                    In hagiography: John the Arab was a monk who
          originally was from a rich family in Ḥirta. He studied at Nisibis, went to Mount
            Sinjar, and became a shepherd. He found a place on Mount Izla, and he performed many
          miracles. Many fought over his relics after his death, and
            a monastery was built over his remains near the monastery of Mar Awgin.
                    
                        
                            John the
          Arab is commemorated in John the Arab (text).
