Zabilon secures victory in battle and, upon encountering captured enemies, advocates for their conversion to Christianity. He assists in their baptism and establishes Christian teachings among them. Following these events, Zabilon marries Sosana, and they have a daughter, Saint Nino, who is raised in a pious environment dedicated to serving the poor.
