Sahner suggests that it is possible that Isaac had a sense of disgust with the system he had previously worked for, and that there may have been “personal disputes between the martyr and the Umayyad authorities” that existed prior to Perfectus’ execution.29 When Isaac went to the court in June of 851 and told the judge, in Arabic, that “I have found both your prophet and you to be lacking [the zeal of justice],” Isaac was doing so with his own individual motivation and expression of religious identity as a former worker of the Cordovan government and a current monk of Tabanos.30 The largest group of martyrs, with whom I began this paper, and that which Eulogius calls the “six-fold mystery,” was made up of Peter the priest, Walabonsus the deacon, and the four monks Sabinianus, Wistremundus, Habentius, and Hieremia.31 Their martyrdom took place only a few days after the execution of Isaac, and it is likely that the group was motivated by their relations to the monk of Tabanos.	cache/concept-2493.pdf	txt/concept-2493.txt
