The Monastery of Mor Aho, according to the tradition, was built by the saint himself with his patron Theodore and his disciple Heworo, who named the complex «Bnoyel», mening ‘built by God’. The Roman commander Demetrius, who was assigned to a military unit in the Castle of Ṭur ʿAbdin (Comfort, Anthony. ‘Fortresses of the Tur Abdin and the Confrontation between Rome and Persia’. Anatolian Studies 67, 2017: 215), made a donation to the monastery and asked for the building of a cut stone tomb to the southeast of the monastery containing nine arcosolia and a room to store the bones. Shortly after Aho’s death, around the year 560 CE, the monastery, located in Be Gawgal – a forest with great trees and wild animals – , was abandoned as it was subjected to torrential rainfall and flooding. The monks moved to the “Lower” Monastery, which was named Dayro da Fnoth (Pnoth = it returned), according to Andrew Palmer (Palmer, Andrew. ‘La Montagne Aux LXX Monastères. La Géographie Monastique Du Tur ’Abdin’. In Le Monachisme Syriaque, 169–259. Études Syriaques 7. Paris: Librairie orientaliste Paul Geuthner, 2010: 231).
