Ishoʿsabran (Syriac: ܝܫܘܥܣܒܪܢ, Īšōʿsawrān), born Mahanosh, was a Persian Zoroastrian convert to Christianity who was martyred in the Sasanian Empire in 620 or 621.
[1] At least four persons named Ishoʿsabran appear in East Syriac liturgical calendars, but only the martyr of 620/1 has a written hagiography.
"[1] Born Mahanosh in the town of Qūr in Adiabene and raised Zoroastrian, he was converted by the words of his already-converted wife and the local priest, Ishoʿ Raḥme.
[1] Ishoʿsabran was on trial before the governor when a fellow Christian, Yazdīn, a minister of Shah Khosrow II, happened to be passing through and procured his release.
[1] Ishoʿsabran remained in prison for fifteen years, during which time the Monophysites attempted, unsuccessfully, to convert him to their creed.
