Shahdost, also Sadoc, Sadoth (Greek: Σαδωθ) (Turoyo: ܫܗܕܘܣ) was Bishop of Seleucia-Ctesiphon and primate of the Church of the East from 341 to 343. He was martyred during the great persecution of Shapur II. Like several other early bishops of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, he is included in the traditional list of patriarchs of the Church of the East. He is considered a saint in several Eastern Christian denominations.[1][2]
