Not to mention the CoE in the Parthian empire would have said, "Leo Who?"...."Chalcedon what?"
That this was the Jacobites/Monophysites in the Byzantine empire is beyond question.
Kevin, not all "Syriac" Christians are the same. You're talking about several different groups across two distinct geographic areas. Maronite in Lebanon. Arameans in Syria. Assyrians in north Iraq. Chaldeans in south Iraq. Melkites in Syria. Then there are the various groups in India, etc.
We are not "Syriac" - we are "Assyrian". Totally different. Not the same people, not the same Church, not the same country, not the same history.
