	theodoret
		According to Tillemont, he was born at Antioch in 393, and died either at Cyrrhus ("about a two-days' journey east of Antioch" or eighty Roman miles), or at the monastery near Apamea (54 miles south east of Antioch) about 457.

		He made an appeal to Leo the Great, but not until after the death of Theodosius II in 450 was his appeal for a revocation of the judgments against him granted by imperial edict.

		, bishop of Cyrrhus, an important writer in the domains of exegesis, dogmatic theology, church history and ascetic theology, was born in Antioch, Syria, about 386.
		At an early age he entered the cloister; and in 423 he became bishop of Cyrrhus, a small city in a wild district between Antioch and the Euphrates, where, except for a short period of exile, he spent the remainder of his life.
		The date of his death is uncertain, but it must have been at least six or seven years later than the council of Chalcedon (451).

	James of Cyrrhestica (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Cyrrhus was the central city in Cyrrhestica in the province of Euphratensis (Janin 1956: 1186) northeast of Antioch (today eastern Turkey), known in Syriac as "Quros" (Honigmann 1924: 199), but today given the name "Huru Pegamber" (Mango 1991: 574).
		In antiquity, Cyrrhus had great importance as a garrison town, yet this very fact, which had helped the spread of Christianity early on (Honigmann 1924: 200), eventually brought about Cyrrhus' decline, ruin, and destruction in the wars between the Romans/Byzantines against the Persians and later on against the Arabs (Janin 1956: 1186).
		Theodoret of Cyrrhus, in his Ecclesiastical History (Parmentier 1954: 331), reports that Chrysostom had exhorted the bishop of Cyrrhus "to expel the disease" and Chrysostom was "offering assistance from the imperial laws" for such an undertaking.

	Abraham (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The region of Cyrrhus (1) - in what is today Turkey - yielded many anchorites, ascetics, and hermits whose eremitic life was inspired by that of Jesus Christ.
		One of these holy people is Abraham known as 'Abraham of Cyrrhus' (2), 'Abraham the Apostle of Lebanon' (3), and 'Abraham of Harran' (4).
		This man too was a fruit of the region of Cyrrhus, for it was born and reared there that he gathered the wealth of ascetic virtue.

	Saint Maron (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Theodoret never knew Maron personally, but only through the disciples of this holy man. He described Maron as "the one who has planted for God the garden which flourishes now in the region of Cyrrhus." Little is known of the birth or youth of Maron because Theodoret was unconcerned about that aspect of his life.
		Some hold the opinion that Maron and John Chrysostom studied together at Antioch before 398 and that the famous letter sent by John Chrysostom was indeed sent to this hermit Maron and not to some other anchorite with the same name.
		He had been a disciple of the hermit Zebinas who was known for his assiduousness in prayer, spending all day and night at it.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.02.19
		While the main focus of the book is on Theodoret the Bishop's authorial relationship to the various holy men whose lives he describes, Urbainczyk's examination of how Theodoret himself fits within his own work demonstrates that he is in fact not only the bishop but the titular holy man as well.
		It describes events that occurred during Theodoret's childhood, including one significant to Urbainczyk's argument: the downfall of John Chrysostom, purportedly brought about by Theophilus of Alexandria, whose nephew, Cyril of Alexandria, would be the theological nemesis of Theodoret.
		Theodoret's Antiochene background, especially his education and the question of his first language, is addressed, as are his role as bishop of Cyrrhus and the events surrounding the Councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon.

	Tauditho Meal- Maronite thanksgiving Meal to all Maronites especially from Lebanese descent, Maronite tradition
		He cured not only infirmities of the body, but applied suitable treatment to souls as well, healing this man's greed and that man's anger, to this man supplying teaching in self-control and to that providing lessons in justice, correcting this man's intemperance and shaking up another man's sloth.
		Applying this mode of cultivation, he produced many plants of philosophy, and it was he who planted for God the garden that now flourishes in the region of Cyrrhus.
		A product of his planting was the great James, to whom one could reasonably apply the prophetic utterance, 'the righteous man will flower as the palm tree, and be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon', and also all the others whom, with God's help, I shall recall individually.

		This was brought home to Theodoret when, after the turmoil of the great cities and their synods, he felt himself constrained from very weariness to turn his face back again to dull, uninteresting Cyrrhus and its unintellectual people.
		He must take his part in momentous questions, and his line in ecclesiastical politics, amid the war of anathemas, and with the risk of incurring the greatest temporal penalties.
		In high favour with the Emperor, he obtained a decree for the confinement of Theodoret, first within the walls of Cyrrhus, next to his monastery near Apamea.
