                    In hagiography: John Bar ʿAbdun was
          Patriarch of the Syrian Orthodox church, and he had a life fraught with difficulty. He was
          accused of attracting Chalcedonians to the Syrian Orthodox, and he was brought
            to Constantinople to be
          condemned by the Chalcedonians. He was slapped in the church of Hagia
            Sophia by the Melkite Bishop John of Melitene. He died in exile in Thrace and was honored as a martyr by the
          Syrian Orthodox.
