Biography

Simon was the son of Zuwayra from the village of Beth Man‘am in Tur Abdin and was educated at the monastery of Qartmin.Шаблон:Sfnp He had become bishop of Gargar by 1387 and was later appointed as archbishop of Jerusalem with the name Basil.Шаблон:Sfnm

Upon the death of patriarch Philoxenus II in 1421,Шаблон:Sfnp Simon met with the Coptic Pope Gabriel V of Alexandria to request that he be consecrated as Philoxenus' successor as patriarch of Antioch.Шаблон:Sfnp Simon argued that Gabriel's involvement was necessary as there were too few remaining bishops of his own church and Islamic persecution prevented them from holding a synod to elect a new patriarch.Шаблон:Sfnp

In spite of initial hesitation, Gabriel acquiesced and thus he and two Coptic bishops and one Syriac bishop consecrated Simon at Cairo at the church of Saint Mercurius and formally enthroned him at the church of the Virgin Mary in 1421 or 1422.Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:Refn The priest Abu l-Faraj, who would later succeed Gabriel as Pope John XI of Alexandria in 1427, also participated in Simon's consecration at the church of Saint Mercurius.Шаблон:Sfnp

Simon later returned to Egypt in need of the chrism and so he, Pope John, and the archbishop of Jerusalem performed the ceremony to prepare the chrism together during the Holy Week of 1430 at the Hanging Church at Cairo.Шаблон:Sfnp He served as patriarch of Antioch until his death in 1444 or 1445.Шаблон:Sfnp
