                        was built in the name of St. Shabtai, a fifth-century ascetic, opposite the Monastery of Mor Abḥai, near the Monastery of Fusqīn in Karkar. It was restored by Athanasius Denḥa, metropolitan of Edessa (1171-1191). While a monk, Patriarch John XII resided in this monastery and in it he was consecrated Patriarch, it remained populated until the beginning of the seventeenth century.
                    
                    
                        
                        
                    
                    In Dolabani's translation of Barsoum's description ܕܰܢܚܳܐ should read ܕܶܢܚܳܐ and "1171 . 1191" should read "1171 - 1191".
