                    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.
