Rhipsime - [ Syriac Not Available ]

http://syriaca.org/person/1427
In hagiography: Diocletian fell in love with a young woman, Rhipsime, when he saw her picture. She lived a convent with 17 others, and they fled to Armenia. They were captured by the king Tiridates, who tortured and killed Rhipsime, her teacher Gayana, and the other virgins. Tiridates was turned into a boar. Gregory cured the king, and Armenia converted to Christianity.
