Life
The Eleven Presbyters of Khuzistan were presbyter confessors of the district of Beth Huzaye (Khuzistan), in the south-west of present-day Iran, killed in the persecution of King Shapur II.
The Syriac Martyrology of 411 preserves their names, in its eastern part, among the "martyr priests": Andrew, Abdzakkaya, Joseph, Abraham, another Andrew, another Abraham, Bar-Habsaba, Naqib, Adiui, Simeon and John. No other account of their lives or deaths survives.
