Mor Thomas of Amid

History of Syriac Literature and Sciences (1e): "Thomas was also a contemporary scholar of Jacob of Edessa, whom he mentioned after Rabban Aaron in his afore-mentioned letter, and even likened him around the year 680 unto the star which guided the Magians. Perhaps Thomas became the bishop of Amid and died around the year 700, for the historian of Zuqnin states that "Thomas III, bishop of Amid, was one of the illustrious bishops of that time."BL14504
