- ccat.sas.upenn.edu
- After the breakup of the kingdom of Alexander the Great, Mesopotamia, including the region in which Edessa lay, came under the control of Seleucus I Nicator. He reorganized an extant settlement there, Osroë, by mixing the population with westerners who spoke Greek, and gave it the Macedonian name Edessa. 1 In the second half of the second century BCE, as the Seleucid kingdom disintegrated in the wars with Parthia (145- 129), insubordinate despots seized power for themselves in Edessa and its environs (i. ...

- In surveying this information from the earliest history of Christian Edessa there naturally occurs to us what had been said above (xxiii) about the ecclesiastical way of thinking. ...
