He studied theology and philosojiby at Breslau, was aiipointcd in 1834 professor of theology and director of the homilet- ical seminary at Breslau, and died there in 1847.

1. A river in the immediate neighborhood of Baby- lon, on the banks of which Jewish exiles lived (Bar. i, 4). No such river is known to geographers; but if we assume that the first part of the book of Baruch was written in Hebrew, the original text ma}- have been Sur, the final "^ having been changed into "1. In this case the name would represent, not the town of Sora, as suggested by Bochart (Phaleg, i, 8), but the river Eu- phrates itself, which is always named by Arab geogra- phers "the river of Sura," a corruption probably of the "Sippara" of the inscriptions (Rawlinson, Herod, i, 611, note 4). — Smith.
2. A corrupt Gnecism (1 Esdr. v, 29) of the name Sia or SiAiiA (q. V.) in the Hebrew lists (Ezra ii, 44; Neh. vii, 47).
Swdaili, Stephen Bar, a Monophysite monk, who, according to the Candelabrum Sanctorum of Abul-faraJ (q. v.), ill Assemani, Bibl. Orient, ii, 291, lived al)out A.D. 500, at first in Edessa and afterwards in Jerusalem. He is credited with the authorship of a work which cir- culated under the name of llierotheus, tlie teacher and predecessor of Pseudo-Dioin-sius, in which a limitation of the duration of hell is taught on the authority of a pantheistic interpretation of 1 Cor. xv, 28. Neander regarded the ascription of this work to Siidaili as rest- ing upcm a mere assumption on the part of Abul-faraj (Gesch. d. christl. Rcl. u. Kirrhe, i, 727), but without having sufficient warrant for his view.
Particulars respecting the mystico-pantheistic theol- ogy of Sudaili are furnished by Xenajas or Philoxenus (q. V.) of INIabng in a letter addressed to the presbyters Abraham and Orestes of Edessa, which earnestly warns them against the intiuence of that learned and subtle monk who formerly sojourned in their city (see extracts in Assemani, ut sup. p. 30-33). As there represented, Sudaili taught the essential unity of (he Father, Son, and Spirit, of the divine and human nature of Christ, and also of God and all created existences, basing his views on 1 Cor. xv, 28, "tva y 6 QtuQ ra Trarra iv ttct- (Tiv.

ties as to Christians, to Judas and Simon Magus equal blessedness with Paul and Peter. It is evident that much of these assertions is dictated by malice and is grossly misrepresented. The same remark applies to the Chiliastic views of Sudaili, who was a consequen- tial adherent of Origenistic doctrines," and must be re- garded as holding a spiritualized, idealistic view of the world. lie taught three world -periods — the present, corresponding tQ the sixth day of the week ; the millen- nium, the great Sabbath or rest-day of the week ; and the eternity of consummation or of the restoration of all things.
Nothing is known of the pei-sonal or literary career of Bar Sudaili. The violent assault of Philoxenus upon his character as a teacher and expositor of the Script- ures appears to have succeeded so far as to ca,use him to be regarded by all Monophysites as a dangerous her- etic. The Jacobites of Syria, e. g., admitted a special sentence of condemnation against him into their formu- la of ordination. See Assemani, Bibl. Orient, vol. i and ii. — Herzog, Real-Encykloj). s. v.

Suddath, William W., a Presbyterian minister, was born in Fairfax County, Va., July 31, 1826. He professed religion in his nineteenth year, was received by the Lexington Presbytery of the Cumberland Pres- byterian Church as a candidate for the ministry, and was licensed to preach in 1847. About this time he entered Chapel Hill College, in Lafayette County, ]Mo. ; studied theologj'in the Cumberland University at Leb- anon, Tenn. ; but before graduating he was induced, by the great interest he took in the success of Chapel Hill College, to return to ISIissouri and accept the pro- fessorship of languages in that college. He was after- wards elected president, which position he filled until 1857, when hg accepted a call to the chair of languages in the Masonic College at Lexington, Mo. In 1858 he became enlisted for the St. Louis mission, and his far- reaching mind and noble, benevolent heart conceived a plan to relieve it of its embarrassments. But his la- bors were too great for his physical energies. He gave up his position in the college to engage in the work of his choice: he accepted a call from the Church in St. Joseph, but died Aug. 1, 1800, before assuming the du- ties of the new position. Mr. Suddath was an eloquent preacher, a scholar, and a Christian gentleman. See AVilson, Presb. Hist. A Imanac, 1861, p. 236. (J. L. S.)
