The analysed texts taken from Lettersof Timothy I the Patriarch of Baghdad on his dispute with Solomon, Bishop of Hedata – a dispute over recognition of baptism given in communities outside the Assyrian Church of the East (Severians and Melkites, or Monophysites and Orthodoxy followers in older terminology) – do not give the basis for claiming there was any kind of close contact between the Oriental Christians and Christians in Africa. Being aware of the controversies and struggles of Africans and the letters written in this context in Africa Proconsularis, in the Middle East and Middle Asia gives no grounds for forming categorical judgments either. A reference to specific judgments originating from Carthage is a fact. The quotes, however, may as well come from collections of legal documents consisting of the synod's decisions (without the context of their origin). This type of collection was common at that time and we know that both adversaries had access to them. Nevertheless, one thing is certain: for both debaters, Timothy and Solomon living in Mesopotamia in the 8th century, the heritage of African Synods from the 3rdcentury is their own heritage, and the decisions taken there applied to them. Being aware of the common tradition and communication is an axiom both in the dispute and the reasoning.

Analizowane teksty zaczerpnięte z Listów Tymoteusza I, patriarchy Bagdadu dotyczące jego sporu z Salomonem, biskupem Hedaty, sporu o uznanie ważności chrztu udzielonego we wspólnotach nie pozostających w łączności z Asyryjskim Kościołem Wschodu (Sewerianie i melkici, to jest w starszej terminologii, monofizyci i ortodoksi), nie dają podstaw do mówienia o bliskich kontaktach chrześcijan orientalnych z chrześcijanami w Afryce. Znajomość kontrowersji, z którymi borykali się Afrykańczycy jak i pism powstałych w tym kontekście w Afryce prokonsularnej na Bliskim i Środkowym Wschodzie też nie daje podstaw do formułowania kategorycznych sądów. Jest faktem odwołanie do konkretnych orzeczeń pochodzących z Kartaginy. Prezentowane cytaty mogą jednak pochodzić, równie dobrze, z kolekcji  prawnych, w których zbierano orzeczenia synodów bez wnikania w kontekst ich powstania. Ten rodzaj zbiorów był rozpowszechniony w tym czasie i wiemy, że obaj adwersarze mieli do nich dostęp. Tym niemniej jedno jest pewne. Dla obu dyskutantów, Tymoteusza i Salomona, mieszkających na terenie Mezopotamii w VIII wieku, dziedzictwo synodów afrykańskich z III wieku jest ich dziedzictwem, a rozstrzygnięcia tam podjęte obowiązują także ich. Świadomość wspólnej tradycji i łączności jest aksjomatem w toczonym sporze jak i używanej argumentacji.

In the interpretation of the Bible among Christians of the Orient, i.e. in the ancient Oriental exegesis, the historical sense is relevant, as history reveals Jesus to us. He is present, as the School of Alexandria describes, in the entire Bible, on its every page, but He is not veiled by allegory – He is present through time, having its special place in the revelation of the Word. Using types and images to explain certain points in the Bible is related to the concept of theological language in which types and images inscribed in the Holy Bible play an important role in our way of talking about God. They are elements that, by definition, should form the theological discourse. Certain elements of this exegesis are similar to concepts both of the School of Antioch and that of Alexandria, although, from the point of view of its basic assumptions and axioms, it is completely different. In many aspects, it is close to Judaism against which it fights so intensely, as many of its concepts are inspired by the heritage of the Jewish Diaspora of the Middle East.
