Historical references
Tabeel is mentioned in 'The History of the Patriarchs' by Josephus Flavius, written between AD 93 and 96. He describes Tabeel as the son of Rabbah, a priest at the temple in Jerusalem, who was sent to Egypt to buy corn during a famine. Tabeel was able to secure a large quantity of grain, but was unable to bring it back to Jerusalem because of the Egyptian guards. Instead, he distributed the grain to the poor in Egypt and was later able to return to Jerusalem with the blessing of the Egyptian rulers.
AD 93-96
In 'The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Holy Men of the Early Church' by St. Sophronius of Jerusalem, written between AD 570 and 638, Tabeel is listed as one of the holy men of the early Christian church. He is described as a hermit who lived in the wilderness near the Dead Sea, performing miracles and living a life of asceticism. He is also said to have been visited by St. Mark the Evangelist and St. Peter, who blessed him and encouraged him in his spiritual pursuits.
