While the names Ieso and Yahia are from Persian Gnosticism, the use of the word darāhima (12:20:4 ድራክማ in Amharic Դրախմա in Armenian) in the Quranic materials is of Byzantine origin from the word Drahma indicating that the Quranic materials were being used by/for people of Gnostic beliefs but who nevertheless did not live in an area that was used to using Dinars. They were certainly not Romans as they pointed out that the Romans had been defeated but since the currency was anyway the Drahma instead of the Dinar they understood that Sassanian control in their area was weak and expected that within 10 years the Romans in turn would be victorious. '''The Gnostic authors were operating in a 'down but not out' Byzantine economic sphere.''' The fact that the Sassanians and Persians are not mentioned in the final Quran is also worth deep consideration.
==612 Synod of Khosrow==
Khosrow II held an Eastern Church Colloquy in 612. The already unpopular Babai attempts to placate those tempted by Miaphysitism and the Gnostic Tripartite view of Jesus by presenting the idea that the divine being has an authoritative operator and a subordinate operator inside of a third operator "a wonderful union" of the other two as God's primary Rasul to all the worlds. All three were born as Mary's child. Thus Babai's Nestorians said Allah's Rasul is a partnership between the divine and its creation. This satisfied many Nestorians whose opposition to Miaphysites was based on the assumption that they rejected 2 operators. Most Miaphysites are also satisfied.
But Babai's attempts to unify the Syro-Aramaic Christians backfired as it could be interpreted by Gnostics as capitulation to the Gnostic idea of three identities in Christ even though the Gnostics denied any true humanity to Christ whom they regarded as an angelic divine being untainted by the Demiurge's corrupt realm. Thus Babai's new formula inadvertently bolstered the Gnostic position.
