                        Ephrem hailed from Roman Mesopotamia and was fluent in Syriac. He embarked on a military career and served as comes Orientis under Justin I. After the devastating earthquake which struck Antioch in May 526, he organised support for the afflicted population and thereby gained great popularity in Antioch. The people eventually chose him as new patriarch, a decision that was ultimately approved by the emperor.
