transl ar DIN Aqra is a diocese of the Chaldean Church. The diocese was founded in the middle of the nineteenth century. Background Before the fourteenth century the transl ar DIN Aqra or Aqrah region was part of the diocese of Adiabene East Syrian Ecclesiastical Province Marga , one of the suffragan dioceses in the metropolitan province of Adiabene East Syrian Ecclesiastical Province Adiabene . This diocese, frequently mentioned in Thomas of Marga s Book of Governors , included the districts of Sapsapa the Navkur plain south of transl ar DIN Aqra, on the east bank of the Khazir river , Talana and Nahla d Malka two valleys around the upper course of the Khazir river , Beth Rustaqa the Gomel valley and probably also several villages in the Zibar district. The diocese is first mentioned in the eighth century the region was probably in the diocese of Beth Nuhadra previously , and several of its bishops are mentioned between the eighth century and the first half of the thirteenth century. By the second half of the thirteenth century the names of two villages in the Gomel valley, Tella and Barbelli Billan , were also included in the title of the diocese. Two bishops of Tella and Barbelli are known from the second half of the thirteenth century and a third, Isho transl ar DIN yahb, was present at the synod of Timothy II in 1318. The diocese is not mentioned thereafter, and no other bishops are known from the transl ar DIN Aqra region until the nineteenth century. The Chaldean diocese of Aqra As far as is known, neither the Mosul nor the Qudshanis patriarchate had a bishop for the transl ar DIN Aqra region until the nineteenth century. The colophons of the surviving manuscripts from the transl ar DIN Aqra region invariably mention the Mosul patriarchs of the Eliya line, and there is no evidence that the Qudshanis patriarchs took any interest in the region before the 1830s. Most of the villages in the transl ar DIN Aqra region were still traditionalist at th ... more details
