註釋

I argue that Ibrāhīm was critical of Byzantine rule because of imperial efforts to Byzantinize Antioch, seen by many Antiochian Christians as imperial overreach and unacceptable intervention in local affairs. My research challenges scholarly assumptions about the loyalties of Christians in this region, who are commonly divided along Christological lines and assumed to value their religious community above all other forms of identity. For the Christians of Antioch who were dealing with Byzantine imperialism, an inclusive sense of local community and a desire for autonomy was more important than unity with rulers who happened to share their religious affiliation. Their sense of Antioch as a place could be deployed against imperial attempts to reshape their city.
