Aphrahat was a Persian Aramaic speaking church father. Not much is known about him and he is also not very well known.

We mention Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Athanasius, Constantine, Origen of Alexandria, Arius of Alexandria, Paul of Samosata, Ephrem the Syrian, John Calvin, Augustine of Hippo, and many more.
