The city of Anazarbus was an archdiocese of the Syriac Orthodox Church, attested between the sixth and twelfth centuries.
In this Appendix Michael listed most of the bishops consecrated by the Syriac Orthodox patriarchs of Antioch between the ninth and twelfth centuries.
For the sixth and seventh centuries, Michael's lists are supplemented by several references in other Syriac Orthodox narrative sources.
Anazarbus was a large city of Cilicia, which lay on the river Pyramus or Gihon, 24 miles away from Sis.
[4] Further details of some of these bishops are supplied in the narrative sections of the Chronicle of Michael the Syrian and in the Chronicon Ecclesiasticum of Bar Hebraeus: The archdiocese of Anazarbus is not mentioned in any later source, and probably lapsed in the early decades of the thirteenth century, perhaps on the death of Athanasius (1166/1199).
