Body

Monastic author (or authors) of uncertain identity.

身份不明的修道作者(或多位作者)。

Monastic author (or authors) of uncertain identity (he is unlikely to be the Marcian of Theodoret , Historia Philothea [History of the Monks] 3, as Lebon argued). Seven short ascetic texts are transmitted under his name in Syriac, for two of which a Greek original is also known.

身份不明的隐修作者(或多位作者)(他不太可能是狄奥多雷(Theodoret)《敬虔史》(Historia Philothea) [《修士史》] 第 3 章中所提及的马尔西安(Marcian),正如勒邦(Lebon)所论证的那样)。七篇短篇苦修文本以他的名义在叙利亚语中流传,其中两篇的希腊语原文亦为人所知。
