John of Dara - ܪܝܫ ܕܝܪܐ ܕܩܪܬܡܝܢ

http://syriaca.org/person/3220
“John was a miaphysite bishop ordained by Jacob Burd'oyo in the late 560s. He was archimandrite of the monastery of Qartmin in Tur Abdin in northern Mesopotamia and probably resided there also during his time as bishop of Dara. Honigmann argues that he was bishop of Dara until the Persian sack of the city in 573, and then bishop of Amida. Joh. Eph., EH 4.33, mentions that he was, in 578, one of the eight companions of Jacob Burd'oyo on his final trip to Egypt and that he died a few days before Jacob in the monastery of Casion on the Egyptian border.” 3
