 | | JOHN OF ASIA (or OF EPHESUS), a leader of the Monophysite Syriac-speaking Church in the 6th century, and one of the earliest and most important of Syriac historians. |
 | | John is said to have owed his education in philosophy, mathematics and theology to an Italian monk named Cosmas, whom Sergius had redeemed from a band of captive slaves. |
 | | Thus while John is an adherent of Chalcedon and a dyothelite, the drift of his teaching is in the monophysite direction. |
