Life

Abu, Abraham, Peter, Pambak, Susi, Papa, Sasan and Bars were presbyter confessors of Beth Garmai, the district around present-⁠day Kirkuk, killed in the persecution of the Persian king Shapur II.

The Syriac Martyrology of 411 names them in its eastern part, among the "martyr priests" of Persia. No other account of their lives or deaths survives.
