Dionysius of Amid (d. 1171) was a Syriac Orthodox bishop and writer, probably born in Melitene; his baptismal name was Yaʿqub. After defending a treatise against Yuḥanon of Mardin, he was first interdicted, then in 1148 made bishop of Marʿash and took the name Dionysius. He became metropolitan of Amid in 1166, where he restored the church of the Yoldat Aloho. He died in November 1171 and was buried at that church; a fuller biography by Patriarch Michael Rabo is lost.

Dionysius Bar Salibi

Pekah, the king of the ten tribes, called to his aid Rezin, the king of the Arameans, that is, the Syriacs (Suryoye), and they went up against Jerusalem. God protected the kingdom of Judah, not because of Ahaz, but because of the promises made to David.

Here, Bar Salibi again uses Suryoye (Syriacs) and Oromoye (Arameans) as synonyms, further proving their synonymity.
