Saint Simeon of Beth Arsham was a 6th-century Syriac bishop known for defending Orthodox Christianity. As bishop near Seleucia-Ctesiphon, he opposed Nestorians and other heresies, converting many in Persia and Mesopotamia. After imprisonment, he continued his missionary work and served as an envoy between Byzantium and Persia. He died around 540 in Constantinople.
