Eliya X

Eliya X (Syriac: ܐܠܝܐ / Elīyā, d. 14 December 1722) was Patriarch of the Church of the East from 1700 to 1722, with residence in Rabban Hormizd Monastery, near Alqosh, in modern Iraq.

[1] During his tenure, traditional ties of the Patriarchate with the remaining Christian community of the East Syriac Rite in India were re-established, and in 1708 bishop Mar Gabriel (d. c. 1733) was sent there by the Patriarch, succeeding upon arrival to the Malabar Coast to revive the local East Syriac Christian community.

[2][3][4][5] In older historiography, he was designated as Eliya X,[6] but later renumbered as Eliya "XI" by some authors.

[7][8] After the resolution of several chronological questions, he was designated again as Eliya X,[9][10][11] and that numeration is accepted in recent scholarly works.
