'The corpses of victorious Shimun bar Ṣabbae the catholicos, of the bishops, and of all the holy ones who were with them were taken away on that very night by some people – Roman captives who lived in Karka d-Ledan – and they were buried in honor. Also, some from among the faithful who inhabited other regions, and who happened to be there in the army of the king, asked for relics from the bodies of the holy ones, and they were given to them by the bishops who were in Karka at that time.'
