Notes

"Monk and abbot. Barṣawmo was a supporter of Dioscorus of Alexandria."1 In early sources, Barsauma was known for his ardent support for Dioscorus of Alexandria at the Second Council of Ephesus and his support for Eutyches at the Council of Chalcedon. In later hagiography, Barsauma was widely commemorated in the miaphysite churches as a monastic and missionary leader who was the head of mourners at a monastery near Melitene. A later influential Syrian orthodox monastery in the same region, Dayro d-Mor Barṣawmo, was named after him. He was a disciple of Abraham of the high mountain.See the Life of Barsaum, with his 99 or 100 miracles, written in about 550-61.8
