Jacob IV Aouad[1] (or Ya'qub Awwad, Auwad, Aouad, Arabic: يعقوب الرابع عوّاد, Latin: Iacobus Evodius Hasruensis born in Hasroun, Lebanon - died on 12 February 1733) was a former Eparch of the Maronite Catholic Archeparchy of Tripoli and the 59th Maronite Patriarch of Antioch from 1705 to his death in 1733. In Latin he is called Iacobus Petrus Evodius Hasruensis.

  1. ^ [The addition of the name Peter (in Arabic : Boutros ) your first name is customary for newly elected Maronite patriarchs; about Yaaqoub Awwad, some papal letters of 1721 indicate it as Petrus Iacobus patriarcha Antiochiae (cfr. Juris pontificii de propaganda fide , vol. II, p. 342, and Vol. VII, p. 97).]
