主教 (Bp.) 及博学著述家。简条。
Bp. and learned author. Shortly before his death Patr. Athanasios II asked Bp. Sargis Zakunoyo to ordain Giwargi bishop of the Arab tribes, which he did in Nov. 686. As a protegé of Athanasios II and a friend of Yaʿqub of Edessa , he belonged to a line of learned scholars associated with the Monastery of Qenneshre . On Yaʿqub’s death in 708 Giwargi completed the final book 7 of his commentary on the Six Days of Creation. Several of his works concern Greek philosophy, and he revised earlier translations of Aristotle ’s ‘Categories’, ‘On Interpretation’, and ‘Prior Analytics’ (ed. G. Furlani); this is preserved in the 8th/9th-cent. ms. Brit. Libr. Add. 14,659, together with introductions and glosses. A number of verse texts are attributed to him: on the Patr. Severus , the monastic life, the Myron (sometimes attributed to Yaʿqub of Serug ), Palm Sunday, the Forty Martyrs, and the Burial of Bishops (the last two remain unpublished). His 11 letters cover a wide range of topics, including philosophy, astronomy, theology, and literary criticism; he also wrote a short commentary on baptism and eucharist.
主教 (Bp.) 兼博学作者。在他去世前不久，大公宗主 (Patr.) 阿塔纳修斯二世 (Athanasios II) 请主教 (Bp.) 萨尔吉斯·扎库诺约 (Sargis Zakunoyo) 祝圣基瓦尔吉 (Giwargi) 为阿拉伯部落的主教，此事完成于 686 年 11 月。作为阿塔纳修斯二世 (Athanasios II) 的门徒和埃德萨的雅各布 (Yaʿqub of Edessa) 的朋友，他属于与肯内什雷修道院 (Monastery of Qenneshre) 相关联的一系博学学者。雅各布 (Yaʿqub) 于 708 年去世后，基瓦尔吉 (Giwargi) 完成了其《六日创世注释》(Commentary on the Six Days of Creation) 的最终第 7 卷。他的几部著作涉及希腊哲学，他修订了亚里士多德 (Aristotle) 的《范畴篇》(Categories)、《解释篇》(On Interpretation) 和《前分析篇》(Prior Analytics) 的早期译本 (ed. G. Furlani)；此译本连同导论和注释 (glosses) 保存在 8/9 世纪的手稿 (ms.) Brit. Libr. Add. 14,659 中。多部诗歌文本归于他名下：关于大公宗主 (Patr.) 塞维鲁 (Severus)、修道生活、圣油 (Myron)（有时归于塞鲁格的雅各布 (Yaʿqub of Serug)）、棕枝主日 (Palm Sunday)、四十殉道者 (Forty Martyrs) 以及《主教葬礼》(Burial of Bishops)（最后两部尚未出版）。他的 11 封信函涵盖广泛主题，包括哲学、天文学、神学和文学批评；他还写了一篇关于洗礼和圣体圣事的短注释。
