Damian, patriarch of Alexandria - [ Syriac Not Available ]

http://syriaca.org/person/1196
“Damian was of Syrian origin and lived as a monastic ascetic in Egypt before he was made successor to the miaphysite patriarch Peter of Alexandria. He considered patriarch Paul of Antioch as illegitimate and eventually managed to ordain Peter of Callinicum as counter-patriarch in Antioch. Joh. Eph., EH 4.43, is very critical of Damian because of these actions.” 7
