	Diodorus of Tarsus
		Diodorus was at the Councils of Antioch in 379 and of Constantinople in 381.
		Diodorus rejected the allegorical interpretation of the Alexandrians, and adhered to the literal sense.
		It seems certain that Diodorus went too far in his opposition to (the younger) Apollinarius of Laodicea, according to whom the rational soul in Christ was supplied by the Logos.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Tarsus
		Tarsus was already the caput Ciliciae, the metropolis, where the governor resided.
		The greatest glory of Tarsus is that it was the birthplace of St. Paul (Acts 9:11; 21:39; 22:3), who took refuge there after his conversion (Acts 9:30), and was joined by Barnabas (Acts 11:25).
		Tarsus, which has preserved it name, is a caza of the vilayet of Adana on the railroad from Adana to Mersina; the city numbers about 18,000 inhabitants, of whom 10,000 are Mussulmans, the remainder are Greek or schismatic Armenian.

	Tarsus
		Eastward from Tarsus ran an important road crossing the Sarus at Adana and the Pyramus at Mopsuestia; there it divided, one branch running southeastward by way of Issus to Antioch on the Orontes, while another turned slightly northward to Castabala, and thence ran due East to the passage of the Euphrates at Zeugma.
		The outcome was the reorganization of Tarsus as an autonomous city with a coinage of its own, which took place under Antiochus IV Epiphanes (175-164), probably in 171 BC.
		Other philosophers of Tarsus were Nestor, a representative of the Academy, and tutor of Marcellus, Augustus' nephew and destined successor, and of Tiberius, Plutiades and Diogenes; the latter was also famous as an improvisatore, and indeed the Tarsians in general were famed for their ease and fluency in impromptu speaking.

	Theodoret
		In theology he studied chiefly the writings of Diodorus of Tarsus, St. John Chrysostom, and Theodore of Mopsuestia.
		The same year he attended the synods of Tarsus and Antioch, at both of which Cyril was again deposed and anathematized.
		The bitterness with which these polemics were carried on is shown both by the letter and the speech of Theodoret when he learned of the death in 444 of the Patriarch of Alexandria (Epist.

		The letter is important, along with Letter 56, and the correspondence of S. Basil, as illustrating the attitude of Athanasius with regard to the unhappy schism of Antioch.

	How Greek Science Passed to the Arabs In Five Parts- Part Two De Lacy O'Leary D. D. - Part Two
		All these three, Bishop Eustasius, Flavian, and Diodorus were prominent in controversy with the Arians, a prominence responsible for many of the troubles which came upon the school of Antioch, for at the time the A. rians had much political power, and that became more so after the death of Constantine in 337.
		When Diodorus was raised to the episcopate the school dispersed, but one of its teachers, named Theodore, continued teaching a few members who adhered to him until 392, when he was made Bishop of Mopseustia.
		Diodorus of Tarsus and Theodore of Mopseustia came to be regarded as the leading theologians of the Syrian Church, the Greek speaking church dependent on Antioch, and their writings which, of course, were in Greek, were taken as the bulwarks of the faith in Syria.

		After the early School of Antioch came into decline, the presbyter Diodore of Tarsus re-founded it in the middle of the fourth century as a semi-monastic community.
		In 378 Diodore left Antioche to become Bishop of Tarsus and his student Theodore of Mopsuestia became the new head of the school.
		Diodore and Theodore were strong opponents of the heresy of Apollinaris, who maintained that Christ was the divine word dwelling in a human body, but without a human soul.

		The fourth century seems a late period to acquire this title, but previous to this time the Alexandrian allegorical methods of interpretation had so vitiated the results of biblical study that there was no true science of interpretation.
		Diodorus was a priest and monk of Antioch, where, in the absence of Meletius, he managed the affairs of the church so discreetly that in the year 375 he was made bishop of Tarsus.
		Diodorus's works, which were largely biblical, are all lost, owing probably to the senseless prejudice which at a later age arose against him because Theodore of Mopsuestia had been one of his pupils!

		This belief survived after the banishment of Nestorius, and despite determined efforts by Cyril of Alexandria to remove his supporters and followers from power.
		Ibas, bishop of Edessa (435 - 457), although he repeatedly anathematized Nestorius, indirectly promoted Nestorian Christianity by founding a school in Edessa where the works of Theodore of Mopsuestia, Diodorus of Tarsus, Theodoret, and Nestorius were read and taught.
		Even before the destruction of this school in 489, its students spread through neighboring Persia.

		Diodore of Tarsus helped initiate this controversy in the last decades of the fourth century by speaking of Christ as simultaneously representing the "Son of God" and the "Son of Mary." Mary was viewed by this Antiochene scholar as the mother of a man, rather than a mother of God.
		Theodore, born in Antioch (c.350), was a disciple of Diodore of Tarsus.
		The Dyophysite party ("two-natures of Jesus"), led by Diodorus of Tarsus, Theodoret, and their disciples, had achieved prominence in Church and scholarly circles of Mesopotamia.

		John was immediately drawn to the monastic life, but postponed a withdrawal from the world because his mother pleaded with him to remain with her.
		So he and a group of his friends continued their religious studies with Diodorus of Tarsus, the foremost proponent of the Antiochene school of biblical exegesis, which stressed the literal and historical meaning of the text of the bible, as opposed to the allegorical and mystical interpretation favored by the Alexandrian school.
		This influence remained with him throughout his life and can be seen in his numerous commentaries on the Holy Scripture.

	School of Nisibis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The school was founded around 350 by Mar Jacob after the model of the school of Diodorus of Tarsus in Antioch.
		It was the perfect location for a Syriac school: located in the center of the Syriac speaking world, and still inside the Roman empire, which had just embraced Christianity.
		Meanwhile in Antioch Theodore of Mopsuestia had taken over the school of Diodorus, and his writings soon became the foundation of Assyrian theology.

		The strife which then arose, so far as it was not the product of mere personal rivalries and ambitions, had its source in the diverse spirit and tendencies of the Antiochian and the Alexandrian schools.
		The former, which counted among its exponents Diodorus of Tarsus and Theodore of Mopsuestia, was distinguished by its bent to sober and critical exegesis.
		This naturally made them observant of the extent to which the New Testament ascribes to the Redeemer the purely human as well as the divine.

		Nestorius, Patriarch of Constantinople (5th century), while combating the Arians, came to accept the view that in Christ the two natures stand for two personalities which are united in one moral person.
		This doctrine had previously been prevalent in the School of Antioch where it was held by Diodorus of Tarsus and Theodore of Mopsuestia of whom Nestorius was the disciple.
		Like his master, Nestorius refused to admit that Mary was the Mother of God, but claimed she was only the mother of Christ.

		In the response made to these anathemas, we see not only the Antiochian spirit, but also the work of the historic Antiochian school of interpretation.
		More than fifty years before this, Diodorus of Tarsus, then a priest and a teacher of the Scriptures at an institution in the suburbs of Antioch, had devoted himself to the interpretation of scripture in an historical and grammatical sense, breaking away from the old allegorical methods.
		He had for his pupils Chrysostom and Theodore of Mopsuestia, the latter of whom succeeded him as the representative of this reasonable use of scripture in matters of doctrine.

		However, the works of two long dead Antiochean theologians, Diodorus of Tarsus and Theodore of Mopsuestia were at this time translated into Syriac, which led to a new blooming of the heresy among the Armenians.
		By the intervention of Patriarch Proclus of Constantinople, the two theologians were condemned throughout the East, but this situation would later provide the material for the Second Council of Constantinople some hundred years later.
