In hagiography: Sergius of Tella was the successor of Jacob Baradaeus. He accompanied his teacher to Constantinople where he was received by the Empress Theodora.
Sergius was a close collaborator of the miaphysite bishop Jacob Burd'oyo. He resided in Constantinople for a large part of his life and was eventually ordained miaphysite bishop of Antioch. However, it seems that he remained in Constantinople where he died around 560. During the last years of his life, he became an adherent of the tritheist doctrine.
