“Bishop of Sura, associated with the monastery of Mar Hanina

“John was miaphysite bishop of the town of Sura close to the Euphrates, yet he continually resided in the monastery of Mar Hanina which was located not far from the city. In the schism between Paul of Antioch and Jacob Burd'oyo in the late 570s, he supported Jacob, as is shown in Joh. Eph., EH 4.22.”4
