In hagiography:
Zakka was probably a disciple of Mar Mattai, and thus he
was connected with the saints of Mosul. Before becoming
the successor of Mar
Mattai, he inhabited a small cell at the end of
the valley of Mar Abraham which later became a
Yezidi shrine. He was also connected with the legend of Behnam.
