Simeon of Rev Ardashir (7th or 8th century), whose name in Syriac is Shemʿon, was a Persian priest and jurist of the Church of the East.
[2] The Persian version is lost, but a Syriac translation survives, made by an anonymous monk of Beth Qatraye (Eastern Arabia) at the request of a priest named Simeon.
[2] The Church of the East's legal tradition probably arose in response to the Arab conquest of Persia and the need to better define Christian practice against Islamic law.
[2] A metropolitan named Simeon, possibly but not certainly the same person as the jurist, was the recipient of two letters from the Catholicos Ishoʿyahb III (649–659).
[9] After Ishoʿyahb paid a visit to Rev Ardashir, the seat of the bishop of Fars, Simeon recognized his authority.
