Exilarch Mar Zutra II and his grandfather, …

Years: 502 - 502

Exilarch Mar Zutra II and his grandfather, Mar Hananiah, after seven years of independence wrested from Persia, are taken prisoner and executed, and their bodies nailed to the cross on the bridge of Machuza.

In the ensuing persecutions, the office of Exilarch will remain for some time in abeyance.

The colleges are closed, and the teachers driven into hiding.
