Patriarchs of Antioch
 Chronological List

Traditionally, lists of patriarchs have been drawn in a spiral form. Such a spiral can be found on the Patriarchal Throne at Dayro d-Mor Hananyo (Deir Ul-Za`faran). As is not uncommon with historical accounts, sources for the chronological lists of the Patriarchs differ on dates.
