Hello I was wondering if anyone could tell me the name of the bishop that was on the colophon in the khabouris codex. I see he was bishop of nineveh in 165 just wanted to know his name so if anyone could help that would be great.
Thanks Mike

I don't think it's known who the Bishop is, or even what years he was serving God's Church. Unless I'm mistaken, the Colophon does not state either the year the Khabouis was approved/Signed by this Bishop of Nineveh, or gives his name. Paul Younan says that the statement about "the great persecution" 100 years before, may not refer to that of the 65 A.D. Neronian persecution, but a much later persecution of Church of the East Christians by a tyrant in their lands, 4th or 5th century if I remember right.
Shlama,
Chuck
