According to the Si-ngan-fu inscription, our See also:sole authority, Olopan came to China from Ta T'See also:sin (the See also:Roman See also:empire) in the ninth See also:year of the See also:emperor T'ai-Tsung (A.D. 635), bringing sacred books and images. He was received with favour; his teaching was examined and approved; his Scriptures were translated for the imperial library; and in 638 an imperial See also:edict declared See also:Christianity a tolerated See also:religion. T'ai-Tsung's successor, Kao-Tsung (650-683), was still more friendly, and Olopan now became a " See also:guardian of the empire " and " See also:lord of the See also:great See also:law." After this followed (c. 683-744) a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time of disfavour and oppression for Chinese Christians, followed by a revival dating from the arrival of a fresh missionary, Kiho, from the Roman empire.
The Si-ngan-fu inscription, which alone records these facts, was erected in 781, and rediscovered in 1625 by workmen digging in the Chang-ngan suburb of Si-ngan-fu See also:city. It consists of 1789 Chinese characters, giving a See also:history of the Christian See also:mission down to 781, together with a See also:sketch of Nestorian See also:doctrine, the See also:decree of T'ai-Tsung in favour of Christianity, the date of erection, and names of various persons connected with the church in China when the See also:monument was put up. Additional notes in Syriac (Estrangelo characters) repeat the date and See also:record the names of the reigning Nestorian See also:patriarch, the Nestorian See also:bishop in China, and a number of the Nestorian See also:clergy.

OLORON-SAINTE-See also:MARIE, a See also:town of See also:south-western See also:France, See also:capital of an See also:arrondissement in the See also:department of Basses-See also:Pyrenees, 21 m. S.W. of See also:Pau on a See also:branch of the See also:Southern railway. It lies at the confluence of the See also:mountain torrents (locally known as gaves) Aspe and Ossau, which, after dividing it into three parts, unite to form the Oloron, a tributary of the Pau. The See also:united See also:population of the old feudal town of Sainte-Croix or Oloron proper, which is situated on an See also:eminence between the two See also:rivers, of Sainte-Marie on the See also:left See also:bank of the Aspe, and of the new quarters on the right bank of the Ossau, is 7715. Oloron has remains of old ramparts and pleasant promenades with beautiful views, and there are several old houses of the 15th,

16th and 17th centuries, one of which is occupied by the hBetel de ville. The church of Sainte-Croix, the See also:building of most See also:interest, belongs mainly to the 11th See also:century; the See also:chief feature of the exterior is the central See also:Byzantine See also:cupola; in the interior there is a large See also:altar of gilded See also:wood, constructed in the See also:Spanish See also:style of the 17th century. The church of Sainte-Marie, which formerly served as the See also:cathedral of Oloron, is in the old ecclesiastical See also:quarter of Sainte-Marie. It is a medley of various styles from the 11th to the 14th century. A square See also:tower at the See also:west end shelters a See also:fine Romanesque portal. In the new quarter there is the modern church of Notre-See also:Dame. Remains of a See also:castle of the 14th century are also still to be seen. Oloron is the seat of a sub-See also:prefect, and its public institutions include tribunals of first instance and of See also:commerce, and a chamber of arts and manufactures. It is the most important commercial centre of its department after See also:Bayonne, and carries on a thriving See also:trade with See also:Spain by way of the passes of Somport and Anso.

hill on which Sainte-Croix now stands. Devastated by the Vascones in the 6th and by the See also:Saracens in the 8th century, it was abandoned, and it was not until the 11th century that the quarter of Sainte-Marie was re-established by the bishops. In 1080 the See also:viscount of See also:Beam took See also:possession of the old town. The two quarters remained distinct till the See also:union of Beam with the See also:crown at the See also:accession of Henry IV. At the See also:Reformation the See also:place became a centre of See also:Catholic reaction. In the 17th century it carried on a considerable trade with See also:Aragon, until the Spaniards, jealous of its prosperity, pillaged the establishments of the Oloron merchants at See also:Saragossa in 1694—a disaster from which it only slowly recovered. The bishopric was sup-pressed in 1790.
