Bp. of Edessa (324/5-345/6).
埃德萨 (Edessa) 主教 (Bp.) (324/5-345/6)。
Bp. of Edessa (324/5–345/6). A short work in Armenian is transmitted under his name and the editor described it as being addressed ‘to the Christians in the region of Persia, on Faith’. Although it has been claimed (by de Durand) that the original was Greek (and the work is listed in * CPG * 3340), it is almost certainly a translation from Syriac. The theological phraseology makes it very unlikely that the work really belongs to the first half of the 4th cent. (thus Bruns), and it would best fit sometime between 410 and 428 (thus Bundy).
埃德萨 (Edessa) 主教 (Bp.)（324/5–345/6）。一部亚美尼亚语短篇作品以他的名义流传，编者描述其为“致波斯 (Persia) 地区基督徒，论信仰”。尽管有人（德·杜兰德 (de Durand)）声称原作为希腊语（且该作品收录于《希腊教父著作钥匙》(CPG) 3340），但它几乎肯定是从叙利亚语翻译而来的。其神学术语使得该作品真正属于 4 世纪 (4th cent.) 上半叶的可能性极小（据布伦斯 (Bruns)），它最适合的时间段应在 410 年至 428 年之间（据邦迪 (Bundy)）。
