Life
Jacob, Addai, Nukhraya, Shatra, Abraham, Isaac, Saripha and Mari were presbyter confessors of Seleucia, the city on the Tigris, 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, separately from the thirteen presbyters of Seleucia and Ctesiphon. No other account of their lives or deaths survives.
