The [http://lemidrash.free.fr/JudaismeChristianisme/index_toledoth.html Teliya] also praises Simon as a greatly learned and pious man dedicated to saving Israelites from [[Minuth|heresy]] and guiding gentile followers of displacement theology into Noahism.
The Teliya also recalls Simon in Antioch and his elevated chair as Av Beit Din which was established there under Antiich's Governor Theophilius on February 22nd 35/36CE where disciples were first called Christians, and remained there until the year 42.
