text:
Abd al-Masih, born Asher ben Levi, is described as a saint and martyr in early Christianity. The name Abd al-Masih means "servant/slave of the Messiah" in Arabic. Abd al-Masih was a Jewish shepherd boy in Sasanian Mesopotamia who was killed by his father, Levi, for converting to Christianity. Having converted, he pierced his ear to wear an earring, probably an indication of his metaphorical slavery to Jesus. He died in AD 390. The story is set in Singara and is a Syriac text with later versions
