Sabrisho's patriarchate
The following account of syr's patriarchate is given by Bar Hebraeus:
::quote
Yohannan VII was succeeded by ar ('the wasp'), the bishop of Nishapur. His election was pushed through by force by ar the tax-collector of Ispahan, who compelled the bishops and obtained their agreement. Being anxious to gratify the metropolitan ar of Nisibis, he introduced the custom of allowing the metropolitan of Nisibis to take part in the election of a patriarch. He was consecrated on a Sunday, on the third day of ab [August] in the year 1372 of the Greeks [AD 1061]. Shortly afterwards he was struck by an apoplexy and lost the use of his limbs. He fulfilled his office for ten years and died on the third day of nisan [April] in the year 1383 [AD 1072]. ::
