Metropolitan of Prat d-Mayshan (Baṣra) and author.
普拉特 - 梅尚 (Prat d-Mayshan)（巴士拉 (Baṣra)）都主教及作者。
Metropolitan of Prat d-Mayshan (Baṣra) and author. His Ktābā d-nakputā ‘Book of Chastity’ (Liber Castitatis) concerns monastic foundations, mostly of the late Sasanian and early Arab periods. The work consists of 140 short notices about monastic figures, mostly founders of monasteries, beginning with Mar Awgen (traditionally dated to the 4th cent.) and continuing until the mid 9th cent. It has also been suggested (by Nautin) that he was the author of the Chronicle of Siirt , which survives only in Arabic (ed. A. Scher, in PO 4.3 [1907], 5.2 [1910], 7.2 [1910], and 13.4 [1918]); though it is not impossible, the suggestion remains doubtful. Ishoʿdnaḥ is also the author of a long poem (unpublished) on Mar Yawnan, founder of a famous monastery near al-Anbār . Several further works by him, including an Ecclesiastical History and a treatise on logic, have not been preserved.
普拉特 - 代迈尚 (Prat d-Mayshan)（巴士拉 (Baṣra)）大主教 (Metropolitan) 及作家。他的《贞洁书》(Ktābā d-nakputā / Liber Castitatis) 涉及修道院奠基，主要为萨珊 (Sasanian) 晚期和阿拉伯 (Arab) 早期时期。该著作由 140 则关于修道人物的短讯组成，多为修道院创始人，始于马尔·奥根 (Mar Awgen)（传统断代为 4 世纪 (4th cent.)），持续至 9 世纪中叶 (mid 9th cent.)。诺坦 (Nautin) 也曾提出，他是《西尔特编年史》(Chronicle of Siirt) 的作者，该书仅存阿拉伯语 (Arabic) 版本（ed. A. Scher, in PO 4.3 [1907], 5.2 [1910], 7.2 [1910], and 13.4 [1918]）；尽管并非不可能，但此建议仍存疑。伊肖达赫 (Ishoʿdnaḥ) 也是一首关于马尔·约南 (Mar Yawnan) 的长诗（未出版 (unpublished)）的作者，马尔·约南 (Mar Yawnan) 是安巴尔 (al-Anbār) 附近一座著名修道院的创始人。他的其他几部著作，包括《教会史》(Ecclesiastical History) 和一篇关于逻辑 (logic) 的论文，均未保存下来。
