The following account of the patriarchate of Theodosius is given by Bar Hebraeus: At the same time the catholicus Abraham died, after fulfilling his office for thirteen years, and was succeeded by Theodosius of Beth Garmai, who was consecrated at Seleucia on the second Sunday of Lent, in the year 238 of the Arabs [AD 853]. In his time the caliph
al-Mutawakkil grew angry with his doctor
Bokhtishoʿ, and threw him in jail, and confiscated all his possessions. The catholicus was also imprisoned alongside him, and remained in chains for the space of three years. After Theodosius, the catholicus of the Nestorians, left prison, he lived a further two years and then died, and was buried in the monastery of Klilishoʿ on 7 October in the year 1170 of the Greeks [AD 858]. ==See also==
