Acts of Narsai

Adarparwa though is persuaded by the local mobad Adurboze to renounce the church Narsai had constructed, and instead, convert it into a Fire Temple.

The remains of Narsai are later taken by the author of the text and others to the place where Lawarne was martyred for the benefit and healing of the people, but also in concern that the magians would despoil the body during a new persecution.

All texts have been contributed to the monk Abgar,[1] the only hagiographer whose name and context was known in the fifth and sixth centuries.

[4] Abgar was living in Ctesiphon where the executions of the martyrs were taking place in the field Sliq harubta just outside the city.

Sliq harubta is also where the monks of Abgar's monastery gathered the relics of the martyrs.
