Biography
Prior to becoming patriarch Dionysius was a monk and studied at the Monastery of Beth Batin. Soon after his consecration in April 896, Dionysius held a synod at the Monastery of Mar Shila, which was attended by thirty-five bishops. During the synod he issued twenty-five canons.
During his tenure as patriarch, Dionysius ordained forty-nine metropolitans and bishops before his death at the Monastery of Beth Batin in 909.
