Theodosius (patriarch of Alexandria) - ܬܐܕܘܣܝܘܣ
http://syriaca.org/person/5169
“Theodosius, a supporter of the miaphysite champion Severus of Antioch, was made patriarch of Alexandria in 535. Ousted from his see because the population favoured Gaianus, he was restored with the help of imperial troops. He refused to accept the council of Chalcedon as orthodox and was therefore put in house arrest in Constantinople in late 536. After the death of Severus in 538, he was accepted as the head of the miaphysite community and remained in the capital until his death in 566.” 3
