Saint Rabulas (or Rabula) of Samosata (d. 530 AD[1]) was a monk and ascetic. A native of Samosata,[1] and was educated there by a man named Baripsaba.[2][3] He learned the Syriac language.[2] Rabulas became an ascetic in the deserts and mountains, and then traveled to the Levant.[1][3]
The Emperor Zeno provided Rabulas with funds to build a monastery in the middle of the mountains (the location of which has not been identified[2]), the construction of which was supervised by Bishop John of Berytus.[1][2][3] Rabulas’ monastery became a center for converting local peoples to Christianity.[1][3] Rabulas then went to Constantinople, where the Emperor Anastasius I Dicorus supported the ascetic financially. Rabulas built more monasteries with these funds.[1][3]
