CREATED: person John of Dara ܝܘܚܢܢ John of Dara/Amida ܪܝܫ ܕܝܪܐ ܕܩܪܬܡܝܢ http://syriaca.org/person/3220 http://syriaca.org/johnofephesus/persons/3220 Bishop of Dara, from the monastery of Karthamin John was a miaphysite bishop ordained by Jacob Burd'oyo in the late 560s. He was archimandrite of the monastery of Qartmin in Tur Abdin in northern Mesopotamia and probably resided there also during his time as bishop of Dara. Honigmann argues that he was bishop of Dara until the Persian sack of the city in 573, and then bishop of Amida. Joh. Eph., EH 4.33, mentions that he was, in 578, one of the eight companions of Jacob Burd'oyo on his final trip to Egypt and that he died a few days before Jacob in the monastery of Casion on the Egyptian border. c.566-578 0578-07-28 567 CE male 242 [588] 626 239-241 213; 214
