Please, don't add him to "Greek writers" again. He is Syrian. The confusion started because I wrote down "Syrian Greek Orthodox" - as in: "Syrian of the Greek Ortodox faith" (I wanted to make a distinction between "Oriental Orthodox" and "Eastern Orthodox" - he was of the latter).

You are right. There were some Greeks in Syria (colonists, I suppose), but that was in Classical Antiquity. bogdan | ^Talk 13:46, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Macarius

Ok, here's the deal. I checked out List of Orthodox Patriarchs of Antioch (and, just to make sure, List of Syriac Orthodox Patriarchs of Antioch). Macarius doesn't feature there. Was he using a different name? Was he not officialy Patriarch? Was he not actually Patriarch (and rather Metropolite)? Dahn 20:02, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] son of the patriarch?

I believe the Patriarch's name was Macarius, since Paul's account is titled The Travels of Macarius. But he was Macarius' nephew, not his son. Being a bishop and therefore a monk, the Patriarch is unlikely to have had children (unless he had been married and widowed prior to taking the tonsure). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.123.136.191 (talk) 02:15, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
