George of Izla was a monk and a convert from Zoroastrianism. His name was Mihrangusnap. He was noted for his conversations with the Monophysites and opposition to Gabriel of Sinjar, a convert from the Dyophysites to the Monophysites. Gabriel condemned George to shah Kusro for leaving his Zoroastrianism, and thus George of Izla was put to death.
event: George the Priest is commemorated in George the Priest (text).
