Shubhalishoʿ

Shubhalishoʿ (Arabic: Shuwḥālīshōʿ‎) was an East Syriac monk, missionary and martyr of the late 8th century. According to Thomas of Margā's Book of Governors, Shubhalishoʿ was an Ishmaelite (i.e., an Arab) and his native language was Arabic. He was probably a native Christian of Ḥirtā, since he was "trained in the Holy Scriptures and instructed" in Arabic literature. He was also fluent in Syriac and Persian. He became a monk at the monastery of Beth ʿAbe. There he suffered abuse at the hands of his fellow monks until the Patriarch Timothy I rebuked them.
