In hagiography: John bar Aphtonia is commemorated as a saint born in Edessa and named after his mother, Aphtonia, who consecrated him to God. He joined the monastery of St. Thomas in Seleucia Pieria near Antioch. According to tradition, he was later chased out of the area by Chalcedonians (in the 530s) and founded the monastery of Qenneshrin on the Euphrates, across from Europos.
