AB Simeon bar Sabbae, metropolitan of Seleucia-Ctesiphon and second primate of the Persian Church, fell victim among the first to the general persecution of Sapor II. The date of his martyrdom has been the subject of considerable controversy, and it is the purpose of the present paper to prove that the saint's death occurred, not on Good Friday, as has always been supposed, but on Sept. 14, and in the year 344 A.D.
