• Fr. Sarhad Jammo attests to the fact that the Anglicans were not the first who called the members of the Church of the East (Nestorians) by the name Atourayeh (Assyrian). He stated: ?The Anglicans were not the first to call the members of the Church of the East by the name Atourayeh (Assyrians), rather the name appeared in the official communique and correspondences between the Vatican and the Church of the East, three centuries before the interactions between the Anglicans and the Church of the East.?

Pope Paul V shall, in a letter to the Persian Shah Abbas I (1571-1629) of 3 November 1612 mention that the Jacobites(Syriac Christians) endorsed an "Assyrian" identity: "Those in particular who are called Assyrians or Jacobites and inhabit Isfahan will be compelled to sell their very children in order to pay the heavy tax you have imposed on them, unless You take pity on their misfortune"

• We know that this is nonsense there were no syriac orthodox Jacobites in Isfahan during this period the last time we no of "jacobites" in Iran is during the 13th century.But there were Nestorians in Iran during an after this period just as it is today in Urmia and Teheran.... But have in mind that the author of this book says ”Those in particular who are called Assyrians..." .

• "As early as the 18th century, the British historian [Edward] Gibbon was aware of these confusions. The Nestorians, wrote Gibbon, “Under the name of Chaldeans or Assyrians, are confounded with the most learned or the most powerful nation of Eastern antiquity.”[11]The various names by which these Aramaic-speaking Christians were known, and the titles used by the Roman Catholic Church in reference to their patriarchs--sometimes with such exotic combinations as “Chaldeans of Assyria,” or “Eastern Chaldeans of Catholic Assyria”--were “hardly ever used” by the patriarchs or the people themselves, as the late Dominican scholar [Jean Maurice] Fiey has observed.[12]
