The details of this contest, of his relations with the caliph Mamtin, and of his many travelsincluding a journey to Egypt, on which he viewed with admiration the great Egyptian monuments,are to be found in the Ecclesiastical Chronicle of Barhebraeus.i He died in 848, his last days having been especially i Ed.
In addition to the lost Annals, Dionysius was from the time of Assemani until 1896 credited with the authorship of another important historical work a Chronicle, which in four parts narrates the history of the world from the creation to the year A.D. 774775 and is preserved entire in Cod.
Though the author was a man of limited intelligence and destitute of historical skill, yet the last part of his work at least has considerable value as a contemporary account of events during the middle period of the 8th century.

 Dionysius Telmaharensis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was born at Tell-Mahre (hence the Latin genitive "Telmaharensis") near ar-Raqqa on the Balikh River.
An anti-patriarch had been appointed in the person of Abraham of Kartamin, who insisted on the use of the phrase in opposition to the recognized authorities of the church.
The council of bishops who met at Raqqa in the summer of 818 to choose a successor to Cyriacus had great difficulty in finding a worthy occupant of the patriarchal chair, but finally agreed on the election of Dionysius, hitherto known only as an honest monk who devoted himself to historical studies.

 Dionysius Exiguus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
As Dionysius explained to Petronius, he did not wish to continue the memory of a tyrant who persecuted Christians, and instead he proposed to number years from the incarnation of Jesus Christ, starting his new 95-year table with the year 532.
However, Dionysius used a modified version of the Alexandrian method, and does not mention Victorius or the 532-year cycle.
However it is not clear where Dionysius puts the beginning of the year: besides January 1, also March 1, Christmas day (December 25), Easter day, and the date of the vernal equinox (March 21 or even March 25) are "styles" that have been used at one time.
