English names of East Syrian bishops

The names of East Syrian bishops can be spelled in a variety of ways in English, and it does not help the readability of this article to place alternative spellings in brackets. I have used the anglicisations most commonly used in the English-speaking world, as befits an English-language encyclopedia. I have therefore reverted an edit adding the name commonly used in Iraq for Hormizd Stephen Jibri. What is needed is a separate article on this bishop, starting with the sentence 'Hormizd Stephen Jibri (plus alternative names) was a nineteenth-century Chaldean archbishop of Kirkuk'.
