Biography

Behnam was from the village of Arbo in Tur Abdin and was the son of Simon from the Zuqaqi family. [3] He was ordained as metropolitan bishop of Beth Risha and Mar Malke Monastery by Ignatius Yeshu I, patriarch of Tur Abdin, in 1396. [4] According to the account of the priest Addai of Basibrina in c. 1500 appended to the Chronography of Bar Hebraeus, Behnam saved the villages of Arbo and Beth Risha during Timur's invasion in 1401 (AG 1712) after he had appealed directly to Timur's son Mīrānshāh to spare his village and had received a kerchief as a sign of his decision. [5] He ordained Ignatius Behnam Hadloyo as patriarch of Mardin in 1412. [6] Behnam succeeded Ignatius Behnam Hadloyo as maphrian in 1415 and served until his death on 21 July 1417 at Qaraqosh. [7] He was buried at the Mar Behnam Monastery. [8]
