In this account, Maran Zha, bishop of Ḥadita on the Tigris, heard a camel driver singing Syriac chants among the Arab camel drivers. This man, John, had been a Syriac bishop of the Egyptian diaspora before he was captured by the Bedouins. He was entombed near Ḥadita, but only his habit was found. 700-800 male Saint Saints Syriaques JEAN L'ÉVÊQUE CHAMELIER 245 J.M. Fiey BSO I 1196-97
