In hagiography: Daniel of the Monastery of the Dung Beetles was a refugee from Amida and student of Mar Mattai (his story mirrors the one of Behnam). He established a monastery near that of his teacher, Mar Mattai, with whom he had fled from Amida. The monastery he established was called the monastery of the yellow source. There was a miracle of protective beetles connected to this monastery.
