One of the most influential miaphysite theologians, Severus was originally born a pagan. After his conversion in c.490, Severus became actively involved in the fight against the council of Chalcedon and gained much importance during the reign of Anastasius. He became patriarch of Antioch in 512, but was forced to leave his see and go into exile to Egypt after the accession of Justin I in 518. In 535, Justinian invited him to Constantinople for religious discussions to overcome the divide between pro- and anti-Chalcedonians. However, these plans failed and Severus died in his Egyptian exile in 538. In Syriac miaphysite hagiography, Severus of Antioch is commemorated as a Patriarch of Antioch who wrote many treatises and homilies defending miaphysite non-Chalcedonian Christology. He attended meetings of Justinian to reconcile Chalcedonians and their opponents. He also was the leader of a large group of Miaphysite monks. He wrote in Greek, but his works were preserved in Syriac. 512-518 Sozopolis 2/8/538 Sakhā male Patriarch of Antioch, 512-538 Saint Syrian Orthodox Author The saint is venerated on 8 February (8 Shebaṭ) by Syr. iacob.
