Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch · 544 (Sergius of Tella; the line claims through Severus, deposed 518)

The non-Chalcedonian succession of Antioch, born of the resistance to Chalcedon led by Severus and organized into a parallel hierarchy through Jacob Baradaeus' consecrations. It kept the Syriac tongue and the West Syriac rite through persecution and empire alike.
