Mar-Zutra II (
Mar-Zutra II became Exilarch of the Jewish community in
The Jewish state lasted seven years, until 502 CE.[2] Mar-Zutra II remained exarch until 520.[3] He had a son named Mar-Zutra III. The latter did not attain to the office of Exilarch, but returned to the Land of Israel, where he became head of the Academy of Tiberias, under the title of "Resh Pirka" ('Aρχιφεκίτησ), several generations of his descendants succeeding him in this office.
Mar Zutra's successor, Mar Ahunai, did not dare to appear in public for almost thirty years following this episode and it is not known whether he ever truly assumed the full powers of Exilarch during Kavadh's reign, which ended in 531 CE.[2]
