EZRA (ESDRAS). - Armenian Katholikos (639-51), who under the emperor Heraclius, when the latter had definitively vanquished Khosrow Parviz (628) and extended the frontiers of the Empire as far as those conquered by the emperor Maurice in Greater Armenia, convoked the Synod of Karin (Erzerum) between the years 629 and 630. In the presence of the emperor he officially accepted the Fourth Ecumenical Council and its Christological formula, and communicated with the Greeks. In exchange he was permitted to exercise his patriarchal jurisdiction over the territories of Armenia placed under Byzantium and received as a gift more than a third of the province of Kolb.
The institution of the canonical hour of the Armenian Orologhion, called Ortus solis, is attributed to the Katholikos E. It is the hour that follows Matins and precedes "Terce."
