[[File:2019_Happy_Babylon_Day-2.jpg|thumbnail]] When Bishop Timothyus, Bishop of Sypriots of Cyprus, concluded the Union with Rome in 1445 with the Maronite Metropolitan there, he had to replace his Nestorian title, which was associated with the denomination he had abandoned, with another title from which his identity would be revealed. He signed the Act of Union thus:   “I, Timothy, Archbishop of Tarshish of the Chaldeans and Metropolitan of those who are in Cyprus, on my own behalf and on behalf of all the multitudes present in Cyprus, declare, acknowledge and prepare before the immortal God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and before you, Holy and Blessed Father, Pope Eugene IV, and before this Holy Lateran Council, that I will always remain under your obedience and the obedience of your successors and the obedience of the Holy Roman Church as the mother and head of all churches " (According to Shmuel Jamil, The Book of Relations, Rome 1902, p. 10).
THE PAPAL DECREE ISSUED BY EUGÈNE IV ON AUGUST 7, 1445 AD COMMENTS: “AND TIMOTHY HIMSELF, BEFORE US IN THE LATERAN ECUMENICAL COUNCIL AND IN ITS PLENARY SESSION, PROCLAIMED WITH RESPECT AND PIETY THE FORMULA OF '''HIS FAITH AND TEACHING, FIRST IN HIS CHALDEAN LANGUAGE, AND THEN TRANSLATED INTO GREEK AND THEN INTO LATIN'''.” ON THE BASIS OF THIS UNITARY DECLARATION, '''EUGÈNE IV PROHIBITS IN HIS AFOREMENTIONED DECREE THAT A CHALDEAN SHOULD LATER BE CALLED A NESTORIAN''', AND IN THE SAME SUBJECT IT IS FORBIDDEN TO CALL MARONITES HERETICS, THUS EQUATING CHALDEANS AND MARONITES WITH ALL CATHOLICS AND RELIGIOUS PRIVILEGES. (ACCORDING TO SHMUEL JAMIL, P. 11)
