In the first year of his episcopate Paul joined with Gamalinus, bishop of Perrha , against certain sectarians who refused the use of bread, water, and wine, except in celebrating the Eucharist . Justin I Justin , becoming emperor, undertook to force the decrees of Council of Chalcedon Chalcedon on Severus of Antioch and his followers, and committed the task to Patricius. Patricius arrived at Edessa in November 519, then ordered Paul either to subscribe the council or resign. Paul refused, and took sanctuary in his baptistery whence he was dragged by Patricius and sentenced to be exiled to Seleucia .

The School of Edessa lang syr , often mistaken to be one and the same as the School of Nisibis , was a theological school of great importance to the Syriac speaking world. It had been founded as long ago as the 2nd century by the kings of the Abgar dynasty. In 363 Nisibis fell to the Persians, causing St. Ephrem , accompanied by a number of teachers, to leave the School of Nisibis . They went to Edessa, where St. Ephrem took over the directorship of its school. When St. Ephrem took over the school, its importance grew still further. There were innumerable monasteries at Edessa housing many monks and offering many cells for their abode. St. Ephrem occupied a cell there, practicing the ascetic life, interpreting Holy Scripture, composing poetry and hymns and teaching in the school, as well as instructing young girls in church music. ref cite web url http syrianorthodoxchurch.org library articles monastic life in the syrian orthodox church of antioch title MONASTIC LIFE IN THE SYRIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OF ANTIOCH ref In 489, after the Nestorian Schism , the Byzantine emperor Zeno emperor Zeno ordered the school summarily closed for its teachings of Nestorian doctrine , whereupon the scholars moved back to the School of Nisibis. ref name nestorian.org http www.nestorian.org the school of edessa.html The School of Edessa , Nestorian.org. ref Early history The first recorded director of the School of Edessa was Qiiore , who in the early part of the fifth century exhibited not only ascetic and scholarly qualifications, but also administrative ability.
