Council of Capharthutha was a religious historical council held in February 869 AD to resolve the differences between the Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East of the Syriac Orthodox Church and the Maphriyan in Persia and India. It aimed to regulate the relationship and the resolution of frequent difficulties arising between the two positions. The assembly codified eight canons dealing with the Patriarch and the Maphrian of Tigris: 1. The bishops and the monks in the Mar Mathai's Monastery, should submit to and obey the Maphrian whose seat is in Tigris
