Life
Silas, Barhadbeshabta, Tiri, Silas and Abdisho were presbyter confessors of the town of Mahoze, in the land of the Aramaeans (Beth Aramaye), 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.
