Name of bishop of nineveh?

Shamasha Paul Younn said:
Quote:The "Great Persecution" of the Church of the East began on Good Friday, 344 AD with the martyrdom of the Patriarch Mar Shimon bar-Sabbae, with 5 bishops and 100 elders of the church in the city of Susa....Mar Shimon being the last to die.

He also says that there's nothing in the Khabouris Colophon that speaks of "100 years after" (or before) the Great Persecution, but only that the source text copy, which the Khabouris was made from, was itself made "during" the great persecution, which is said to have lasted some 40 years, beginning on Good Friday 344 A.D. ...so 344 to 384 A.D. is the time frame that the source text of the Kahbouris was scribed. It may not be possible to nail down exactly which CoE Bishop signed that 4th century copy, doing so during those 40 years of the great persecution.

Shlama,
Chuck
