Sources

Brief accounts of Eliya's patriarchate are given in the Ecclesiastical Chronicle of the Jacobite writer Bar Hebraeus (floruit 1280) and in the ecclesiastical histories of the fourteenth-century Nestorian writers {{transl|ar|DIN|ʿAmr}} and Sliba. A more substantial account is given by the twelfth-century historian Mari.
