Descriptions
In hagiography:
Philoxenos of
Mabbug was commemorated as the miaphysite metropolitan bishop
of Mabbug. He was
born in Beth
Garmai. Although he was trained as a dyophysite in the
school of Edessa,
hagiographic accounts also connect him to the miaphysite monasteries of
Tell ʿada, and
Qartmin. As
Bishop of Mabbug, he fought against the Nestorians and Flavian. After the
ascent of the emperor Justin
I, Philoxenus was exiled. According to hagiographic
tradition, this imprisonment was in Gangra and Philippopolis. Accounts
of his martyrdom in exile are preserved in hagiography but difficult to
substantiate. His cult was particularly strong in Ṭur ʿAbdin where his
relics are preserved (in Midyat).1
