Maphrian The Maphrian ( ''Maphryānā'', also rendered as ''mafriano'', etc.) was the prelate in the Syriac Orthodox Church who ranked second in the hierarchy after the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch. The Maphrian, originally acted as the head of the church, in a position similar to an exarch, within the Sassanian Empire and lands outside of the control of the Roman Empire. The title was abolished in 1860 as a result of a decreasing number of Jacobites outside of the Tur Abdin region, however was resurrected in 1964 to be used by the head of the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church as Catholicos of India, retaining the position as the second highest prelate of the wider Syriac Orthodox Church. ==Etymology== The title derives from the Syriac word 'afri', which means “to make fruitful’, or "one who gives fecundity", it may also come from the verb "aphri" which means "father" or "parent". It is a transliteration of the Greek καθολικός, pl. καθολικοί, meaning concerning the whole, universal or general. The title was used to distinguish the Miaphysites from the Nestorians who were headed by the Catholicos in Ctesiphon.
