Life
Paul was bishop of Kashkar in Mesopotamia and died for Christ in the persecution of the Persian king Shapur II.
He is named in the eastern part of the Syriac Martyrology of 411, among the martyr bishops of Persia, as "Paul, bishop of Kashkar". No further details of his life or death survive; he should not be confused with the bishops Abda and Abdisho, also of Kashkar, killed in 376.
