TIMOTHEOS (Τιμόθεος). Original
Greek form of Timothy, meaning "venerating or worshipping
God," from τιμὴ
(honour or worship), the noun formed from
τίμ
(to honour or esteem), connected with Latin timor
(fear), and theos "the divine being, God." (Yonge)
Mar Timotheos, patriarch
780-820. Timotheos was born in 725 A.D. He studied
under his uncle, Mar Gevergis, bishop of Bagis. After he finished
his preparatory study under Mar Abraham, a man of much culture, he
established himself in Beth Abe. He had equipped himself for the
priesthood. While at Beth Abe, an old man met him and said to him:
"You would like to become a leader among the priests for seventy
years." Timotheos had many collegiates like himself—men
of culture and natural gifts, among whom were Ishu Bar Nun Catholicus
and the Bishop of Anbar. Also Mar Sargis, metropolitan of
Elam. Later on he was ordained bishop in the place of Mar-Bagish
at Bagish. (Malech)
