The Fate of the Jews of Cappadocia

History 33

7th Century

[ . . . ] In the 20th year of King Khosrow Shahēn made an incursion, raiding the regions of the west and reaching Caesarea of Cappadocia. Then the Christian inhabitants of the city left the city and departed. But the Jews went out to meet him and submitted. He stayed in that city for a year. [ . . . ]
