Callinicus - ܩܠܝܢܝܩܐ
http://syriaca.org/person/5064
“Callinicus was a eunuch who rose to the rank of praepositus sacri cubiculi, one of the most senior palace officers responsible for Justinian's private quarters. Callinicus was present when Justinian died in November 565 and helped Justin II secure the throne. He probably died before the start of the miaphysite persecution in 571 since Joh. Eph., EH 2.41, reports that Callinicus had presented him with a villa which John then turned into a monastery.” 3
