Body
Toponym occurring in Syriac literature, referring more or less to the modern Iraqi city of Kirkuk.
见于叙利亚语文献的地名，大致指现代伊拉克 (Iraq) 城市基尔库克 (Kirkuk)。
The name occurs in the 6th- cent. ‘History of Karka d-Beth Slokh and its Martyrs’ published by Bedjan, and it means literally ‘Fortress of the House of Seleucus.’ Sometimes the toponym is abbreviated into Karka ‘Fortress’ or Beth Slokh ‘House of Seleucus’. These various forms refer to a major city in Beth Garmai , which corresponds more or less to the modern Iraqi city Kirkuk, called locally Karkūk, deriving from Kark Slokh.
该名称见于贝詹 (Bedjan) 出版的 6 世纪 (6th cent.)《卡尔卡德贝特斯洛赫及其殉道者历史》(History of Karka d-Beth Slokh and its Martyrs)，其字面意思为“塞琉古 (Seleucus) 之家堡垒”(Fortress of the House of Seleucus)。有时该地名被缩写为卡尔卡 (Karka)“堡垒”(Fortress) 或贝特斯洛赫 (Beth Slokh)“塞琉古 (Seleucus) 之家”(House of Seleucus)。这些不同形式指的是贝特加尔迈 (Beth Garmai) 地区的一座主要城市，大致对应于现代伊拉克 (Iraq) 城市基尔库克 (Kirkuk)，当地称为卡尔库克 (Karkūk)，源自卡尔克斯洛赫 (Kark Slokh)。
The city was an E.-Syr. bishopric seat when Shahr-gird served as the seat of the province’s Metr. as early as the 3rd cent., and its first three bishops suffered martyrdom at the hands of Shapur II (309–379). Kark Slokh became in turn a Metropolitan seat as of 410 but in 831/2 the seat was moved to Shahrzur. The city became Chald. between 1767 and 1780, serving as a bishopric and then archbishopric seat from 1863 to this day.
该城曾是东叙利亚 (E.-Syr.) 主教座，当时沙赫尔吉尔德 (Shahr-gird) 早在 3 世纪 (3rd cent.) 便已作为该行省都主教 (Metr.) 的驻地，其前三位主教在沙普尔二世 (Shapur II)（309–379）手中殉道。卡尔克·斯洛赫 (Kark Slokh) 自 410 年起转而成为都主教座，但在 831/2 年，驻地迁至沙赫祖尔 (Shahrzur)。该城在 1767 年至 1780 年间归属迦勒底 (Chald.) 教会，自 1863 年至今作为主教区及总主教区驻地。
