Many religious crisis affected the province of Fârs with great repercussions on Bêth-Qatrâyê and, in the seventh century, with Ishô‘yahb III's arrival on the patriarcal seat in 649, these events grew in size. This paper aims at analysing the mecanisms of his politic of centralization so as to defend ecclesiatical institutions. Tensions between hierarchy (represented by Seleucia-Ctesiphon) and charismatic authorities legitimately invested - especially Simon of Rev-Ardashir and Abraham of Mâshmâhîg - contributed to, and strengthened the contestation of central power within the Syro-oriental Church. Ishô‘yahb enabled to establish an other influential focus: the monks, progressively devoted to the patriarcal cause, who became the relay of the catholicos' authority in these less controlled areas.
