description: "Ishoʿyahb II of Gdala was Patriarch of the Church of the East from 628 to 645. He reigned during a period of great upheaval in the Sasanian Empire. He became patriarch at the end of a disastrous war between the Byzantine Empire and Persia, which weakened both powers. Two years later the Muslim Arabs began a career of conquest in which they overthrew the Sassanids and occupied the eastern provinces of the Byzantine Empire. Ishoʿyahb lived through this momentous period, and is said to have met both the Byzantine emperor Heraclius and the second Muslim caliph Umar."
