Christology Decisive vs Uninformed

The terminology highly depended on context of subjects and predicates, which different cultures understood with varying degrees of importance and breadth. The use of referencing a previous speaker or author led to specific words used in the languages inside the Roman Empire versus outside the Roman Empire. Major schools of though develop in Nisibis, Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, and other cities, which eventually become centers for learning and disseminating precise (or ambiguous) terms for the Trinity and Christ. See Mor Gabriel Monastery and Mor Malke Monastery as examples of non-Eastern Orthodox monasteries in this region in Syria in google maps below. Although these examples show a similar iconography yet they have distinctive christology in literature.
