Descriptions
In early sources, Barsauma was known for
his ardent support for Dioscorus of Alexandria at the Second Council of Ephesus and his support
for Eutyches at the
Council of Chalcedon. In later hagiography, Barsauma was widely
commemorated in the miaphysite churches as a monastic and missionary leader
who was the head of mourners at a monastery near Melitene. A later
influential Syrian orthodox monastery in the same region, Dayro d-Mor Barṣawmo, was
named after him. He was a disciple of Abraham of the high
mountain.
