Theodore Bar Konay's Account of Mandaean Origins chapter 2 Theodore Bar Konay’s Account of Mandaean Origins (circa 792) While Muslim scholars relate little of substance about the Mandaeans until well into the ʿAbbāsid period, their existence had long vexed bishops and teachers of the Church of the East, the chief Christian church organization earlier under Sasanid rule, the heartland of which was especially the fertile territory along the length of the Tigris and its tributaries and canals. The account of the Mandaeans known best today, and the only surviving outsider’s account of their origins, was preserved by an author in the same century as Ruʾba, but in Syriac. Theodore bar Konay was a bishop of the Church of the East at Kaškar, in his time one of the three major cities near the edge of the Marshes of southern Iraq (the other two being the Arab cantonment cities Baṣra and Kūfa, on the southern and western sides of the Marshes, respectively). The town had long been the seat of an important bishopric in Sasanian times; its importance grew greatly when al-Ḥaǧǧāǧ, the governor of Iraq, founded Wāsiṭ (founded circa 702–703), as an Arab Muslim city and garrison of Syrian soldiers, across theTigris from Kaškar, on the northeast side of the Marshes. Around 792, Bar Konay wrote his Bookof theScholion, an extensive explanation of the beliefs of the Church of the East in the form of a running commentary on the Old and New Testaments followed by a defense of East-Syrian Christianity against Islam and a heresiographical supplement.1 Preserved in this last section, memrā 11 of the book, is the earliest extant outsider’s description of the Mandaean religion as such. A section on the Mandaeans, along with a few other related groups, is inserted into his big chapter on heresies, otherwise based largely (at some removes) on the Panarion of Epiphanius (wr. 370s). D. Kruisheer has noted that the section on Mandaeism and related sects has its own literary unity, a clear beginning and end.2 It appears therefore that this section is borrowed or adapted from an unknown, lost, earlier source available to Bar Konay. That source was familiar with the reigns of individual Sasanids and so probably wrote under that dynasty’s rule, perhaps in the late sixth or early seventh century. Certainly it was a work by an earlier East-Syrian churchman. 1 Griffith 2008: 43–44 and 81–82. 2 Kruisheer 1993: 152. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2017 | doi: 10.1163/9789004339460_004 theodore bar konay’s account of mandaean origins (circa 792) 19 For the convenience of the reader, I present a translation of the whole account in Appendix 1 at the end of this work. The Mandaeans come about, in Bar Konay’s account, as a derivative move- ment, arising only after another, related group called the Kentaeans, who in turn emerge from a Babylonian pagan background. It is the Kentaeans, in fact, who receive more attention in this passage than the Mandaeans. According to Bar Konay, the Kentaean (kntyʾ) sect began during the reign of the Sasanid Peroz (457–484). That king’s persecutions of idolaters are supposed to have been a factor in the career of Baṭṭay, Bar Konay’s Kentaean heresiarch.3 Report- edly, the Kentaeans claimed that their teaching came from Abel (Hābel). Bar 3 Yazdgird ii and his son Peroz both persecuted non-Zoroastrian groups; see MacDonough (2006) on the former king’s persecutions. As for Peroz, two apparently independent tenth- century sources suggest that it was not only idolaters with whom this king conflicted, but also Jews of the sort claimed as antecedents by medieval Rabbanites. Šarrirā Gaʾon, the head of the yeshiva of Pembudita (in the tenth century located in Baġdād), in his Iggartā, or epis- tle, on the history of the Jewish schools in Babylonia (generally known as the “Iggeret of Rav Sherira Gaon”), reports punishments leveled by Peroz against Jewish leaders in the 460s and 470s, following the persecution of Jews by his father Yazdgird ii in the 450s. Šarrirā mentions the arrest of specifically named rabbis and the son of the Jewish Exilarch (head of the Jewish community in Iraq) in 468/9, and seven years later the execution of some of these along with the Exilarch himself. He also says that “in the year 785 (Seleucid = 474–475ce), all the Baby- lonian synagogues were closed and the children of the Jews were seized by the Magi,”w-bšnt 785ʾtsrw kl by knštʾ d-bbl w-ʾtnqyṭw bny yhwdʾy l-ʾmgwšy (Rabinowich 1988: 118). The second of the two reports is similar, occurring in the Kitāb Sinī mulūk al-arḍ wa-l-anbiyāʾ (bāb 1, faṣl 4) of Ḥamza al-Iṣfahānī (wr. 961), who says of Peroz that he “ordered the killing of half the Jews of Iṣfahān and the submission of their children in the House of Fire of Srōš-Ādurān, of the village of Ḥrwʾn, as slaves, because they skinned the backs of two of the Herbads and then tied them together and treated them to hide-tanning,”wa-amara bi-qatli niṣfi Yahūdi Iṣfahāna wa-islāmi ṣibyānihim fī bayti nāri Surūš-Ādurāna min qaryati Ḥrwʾn ʿabīdan ḥayṯu salaḫū ẓuhūra raǧu- layni mina l-harābiḏati ṯumma alṣaqū aḥadahumā bi-l-āḫari wa-stamaʿlūhumā bi-d-dibāġa. See also Gafni (2006: 800) (who seems to prefer Šarrirā’s to Ḥamza’s account when he para- phrases the enslavement of Jewish children as “forced conversion”); the uncritical account of Widengren (1961: 143); and Neusner (1983: 915–916), who hypothesizes Jewish messianism as the background to Persian suppression. It is, in any case, important to note that other reli- gious groups besides idolaters were affected under Peroz’ reign. And as Wood (2012: 70) notes, this was also an era during which the nascent Church of the East was persecuted, and that “there were no central synods between the years 424 and 485.” We should expect that reli- gious entrepreneurs advocating new movements like those of the Kentaeans and Mandaeans would find followers during a period of decentralization and suppression of existing institu- tions among the religious organizations of Iraqi Aramaeans. I develop this idea in Chapter 11, below..

  • Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation
    Empire of Hope and Tragedy: Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian Swain Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Timothy Gregory, Co-advisor Anthony Kaldellis Kristina Sessa, Co-advisor Copyright by Brian Swain 2014 Abstract This dissertation explores the intersection of political and ethnic conflict during the emperor Justinian’s wars of reconquest through the figure and texts of Jordanes, the earliest barbarian voice to survive antiquity. Jordanes was ethnically Gothic - and yet he also claimed a Roman identity. Writing from Constantinople in 551, he penned two Latin histories on the Gothic and Roman pasts respectively. Crucially, Jordanes wrote while Goths and Romans clashed in the imperial war to reclaim the Italian homeland that had been under Gothic rule since 493. That a Roman Goth wrote about Goths while Rome was at war with Goths is significant and has no analogue in the ancient record. I argue that it was precisely this conflict which prompted Jordanes’ historical inquiry. Jordanes, though, has long been considered a mere copyist, and seldom treated as an historian with ideas of his own. And the few scholars who have treated Jordanes as an original author have dampened the significance of his Gothicness by arguing that barbarian ethnicities were evanescent and subsumed by the gravity of a Roman political identity. They hold that Jordanes was simply a Roman who can tell us only about Roman things, and supported the Roman emperor in his war against the Goths.

  • The Fifth Century, the Decemvirate, and the Quaestorship
    THE FIFTH CENTURY, THE DECEMVIRATE, AND THE QUAESTORSHIP Ralph Covino (University of Tennessee at Chattanooga). There has always been some question as to the beginnings of the regularized quaestorship. As long ago as 1936, Latte pointed out that there seems to be no Roman tradition as to the quaestors’ origins.1 As officials, they barely appear at all in the early Livian narrative. The other accounts which we possess, such as those of Tacitus and Ioannes Lydus, are unhelpful at best. While scholars such as Lintott and others have sought to weave together the disparate fragments of information that exist so as to construct a plausible timeline of events surrounding the first appearance of regular, elected quaestors in the middle of the fifth-century, it becomes apparent that there is a dimension that has been omitted. Magisterial offices, even ones without the power to command and to compel, imperium, do not appear fully-formed overnight. This paper seeks to uncover more of the process by which the regular quaestors emerged so as to determine how they actually came to be instituted and regularized rather than purely rely on that which we are told happened from the sources.2 Tacitus records that quaestors were instituted under the monarchs in a notoriously problematic passage: The quaestorship itself was instituted while the kings still reigned, as shown by the renewal of the curiate law by L. Brutus; and the power of selection remained with the consuls, until this office, with the rest, passed into the bestowal of the people. The first election, sixty-three years after the expulsion of the Tarquins, was that of Valerius Potitus and Aemilius Mamercus, as finance officials attached to the army in the field.

  • Background: Studies of Greek Poetry Often Focus on Athens Because Many of the Best-Preserved Sources Were Written Almost Exclusively by and for Athenians
    Myth, Locality, and Identity in Pindar’s Sicilian Odes • Background: Studies of Greek poetry often focus on Athens because many of the best-preserved sources were written almost exclusively by and for Athenians. However, Greek lyric poetry, which also was hugely influential in the fifth century, offers an important counterbalance to the dominant Athenian perspective. When celebrating Sicilian victors, the Theban poet Pindar adapted his poetic project to regional needs in th Sicily where the cities were populated in large part by Fig. 1 Map of 5 century BCE Sicily immigrants.

Over the centuries, myth, pseudo-history, and educated guesswork have rushed in to fill the void.2 The last thirty years have seen a revival of interest in the fifth and sixth centuries, and a great deal of work has been clone on the historical and archaeological records. Ironically, the increased focus on the period has cast a doubt on almost every important assumption that has been macic about early Britain. Ian Wood has noted that between the usurpation of Constantine III in 407 and the death of the Roman consul Aetius in 455 there are a handful of dateable events associated with the British Isles.3 Yet even these are the subject of intense debate. Primary narrative sources, especially the chronicles, have come under fire. Many have been abandoned altogether, especially by archaeologists and histori ans favoring an archaeological approach to the period. With more questions than answers, historians are presented with tnatiy challenges, not the least of which is ‘hat to call this period and over what period of time that identification might be valid. “The End of Roman Britain,” “Post Roman Britain,” “Dark Age Britain,” and “Arthur’s Britain” have been used in the past.

  • On Foederati, Hospitalitas, and the Settlement of the Goths in A.D
    ON FOEDERATI, HOSPITALITAS, AND THE SETTLEMENT OF THE GOTHS IN A.D. 418 This study sets out to re-examine the key concepts of foederati (foedus) and hospitalitas (hospitium) with a view to gaining a fresh in- sight into the procedure of settlement or accommodation of barbarians by the Roman government during the fifth century. Particular atten- tion is given to the establishment of the Visigothic kingdom on Roman territory in 418, this emphasis being justified by the fact that, as the first such barbarian settlement, it provided a test case and a precedent. Such re-examination may be thought timely in view of the recent work of W. Goffart1 who has challenged the theories of E. T. Gaupp2 and F. Lot,3 which effectively held the field from 1844 until 1980. Two key words have been repeatedly used in conjunction with the attitude of the Roman government to barbarian settlements, foederati (and foedus) and hospitalitas (and hospitium). The Goths, for example, were imperial federates who were settled by the Roman government accord- ing to the rules of military hospitalitas. Upon re-examination, however, neither concept provides full understanding of the nature of the agree- ments between the imperial government and the barbarian nations dur- ing the fifth century, above all, of the permanent division and occupa- tion of Roman territory and a tax exemption status. First, there is the question of the applicability of the term foederati to the Visigoths. A standard theory of late Roman history is that the Goths, like all the later barbarians and many others before them, were bound to the Empire by a foedus which made them allies of the Roman empire.
