Monastic author. Very little is known of this Persian monk from Susiana, and earlier scholars wrongly identified him as a contemporary of Epiphanius (d. 403), since one of the three monastic letters he wrote is addressed to a disciple of that name.
修道作者。关于这位来自苏西亚纳 (Susiana) 的波斯修士，人们知之甚少。早期学者曾错误地将他认定为埃皮法尼乌斯 (Epiphanius，卒于 403 年) 的同时代人，因为他所写的三封修道信件中，有一封是写给一位同名门徒的。
Monastic author. Very little is known of this Persian monk from Susiana, and earlier scholars wrongly identified him as a contemporary of Epiphanius (d. 403), since one of the three monastic letters he wrote is addressed to a disciple of that name. Grigorios evidently spent some time in Cyprus, before returning to a monastery on Mount Izla. Besides the three letters, he also wrote a ‘Treatise on the Monastic Life’ in seven books, of which only the last one, entitled ‘On holy theoria, which is translated “divine vision” in Syriac’, has so far been published (with LT). His work is also transmitted in Syr. Orth. mss.
修道作家。关于这位来自苏西亚纳 (Susiana) 的波斯修士，知之甚少。早期学者错误地将他认定为爱比法尼乌斯 (Epiphanius)（卒于 403 年）的同时代人，因为他所写的三封修道信件中，有一封是写给一位同名弟子的。格里戈里奥斯 (Grigorios) 显然曾在塞浦路斯 (Cyprus) 度过一段时间，之后返回伊兹拉山 (Mount Izla) 的一座修道院。除了这三封信件外，他还撰写了一部七卷本的《修道生活论》(Treatise on the Monastic Life)，其中仅有最后一卷得以出版（附拉丁译本 (LT)），题为《论神圣theoria（叙利亚语中译为“神圣异象”）》(On holy theoria, which is translated “divine vision” in Syriac)。他的著作也见于叙利亚正教 (Syr. Orth.) 手稿 (mss.) 中。
