Life
Marsan, Papa, Ithamar and Barhadbeshabba were presbyter confessors of Adiabene (Hadiab), the district between the two Zabs in northern Mesopotamia, 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.
