                    In hagiography:
                        Elijah of Ḥirta(al-Hira) was a monastic founder from the sixth century.
                        He was an Arab, a Lakhmid, who joined the monastery at Mount Izla and became a
                        disciple of its founder, Abraham. He drove away corrupt monks. He left
                            Mount Izla and
                        established a monastery near Mosul. He was widely venerated by the Arab
                        Christians.
