                    In hagiography:
                        Zayna, a bishop and martyr, and his sister Sarah, were a brother
                        and sister pair similar to Behnam and Sara. Their cult in Tagrit was a rival to
                        that of Behnam and
                            Sara at
                            Mar Mattai.
                        Zayna was the son of Ator, a king. He became a monk and
                        bishop. Their story was elaborate and involved dragons, healed kings,
                        profitable caravans, and supernatural senses. The cult of Zayna and Sarah
                        was very popular in Qaraqosh.
                    There are many churches named after him
                        in the areas around Takrit.
                    The Arabic legend was published in Mosul
                        in 1965, by Suyhayl Qasa, on the occasion of the restoration of his church
                        in Qaraqosh.
