                    In hagiography:
                            Qitmir, dog of the
                            Sleepers of Ephesus is the name given to a dog who was
                        entombed and commemorated with the Sleepers of Ephesus,
                        the protagonists of a legend set in the time of the emperor
                            Decius. Seven or eight children of Ephesus were entombed in
                        a cave with their dog Qitmir,
                            dog of the Sleepers of Ephesus until they awoke 190 years
                        later. The legend dates to the middle of the fifth century.
