Notes

Patr. of Alexandria; leader of the Egyptian and Syrian anti-Chalcedonians.1
Theodore, of Syrian origin, was abbot of the miaphysite monastery of Rhamnis in Egypt and consecrated patriarch of Alexandria in 575. However, the majority of the miaphysite clergy did not accept him and elected Peter of Alexandria instead, as is narrated in Joh. Eph., EH 4.10-13.11
