Aramean Denominations

"M. Cardahi gave a short discourse in Arabic on the Syrians and the Maronite writers. He showed that the Syrians were called Aramaeans before they had embraced Christianity; that they were all at first under the Patriarch of Antioch; but that since the iv. century they had split into four religious groups: Nestorians, Jacobites, Maronites and Melchites. He supported his statements by unpublished passages from Maronite writings kept mostly in the library of the Maronite House in Rome."
