Barhadbesciabas

Barhadbesciabas

Barhadbesciabas or Barhadbesaba (died July 20, 355) is venerated as a Christian martyr who was decapitated during the reign of Shapur II. A deacon of Arbela, in the Sassanid Empire, he was arrested by the governor of Arbela, Sapor Tamaspor, and put on the rack.

Tradition states that the authorities ordered Aghaeus, an apostate Christian nobleman, to kill Barhadbesciabas with a sword.

Another Christian of the same name was martyred with Abda and Abdjesus in 366.
