Historical Usage
In the apocryphal book of Tobit, Tobit, a noble and God-fearing Assyrian, sends his son Tobias to Rages in Mediaea to recover the debt owed to him by Gabael, a relative. Tobit instructs Tobias to take Sarah, his niece, as a wife. During their journey, Tobias encounters the Angel Raphael who assists him and eventually leads him to the treasure that repays the debt. Sarah is later revealed to be a pure and virtuous woman, and Tobias and Sarah are married.
6th Century BC
In Christian tradition, Tobias is venerated as a saint and is often depicted in art with a fish or a fishnet, representing the story of his encounter with the Angel Raphael who instructed him to catch a fish and use its heart and gall to heal Tobit's blindness. Tobias is also known as Tobit, Tobias the Holy, and Tobias of Mediaea.
