叙利亚 (Syriac) 诗人简介
Syriac poet. He is the author of six poems which are preserved in a single early ms. (Brit. Libr. Add. 14,591). The fact that one of these poems concerns an incursion of the Huns into North Mesopotamia indicates that he must have been writing ca. 396. Nothing else is known of his life (he has sometimes been identified as Absamya, reputedly a nephew of Ephrem, who is said to have written a poem on an incursion of the Huns; or as Qiyore, head of the School of Edessa: neither seems likely). The other poems concern the Footwashing, the Pascha (Holy Thursday), the Crucifixion, Wheat and its symbolism, and Zacchaeus. (In the unique ms. only that on the Crucifixion and the incursion of the Huns are specifically attributed to Qurillona.)
叙利亚 (Syriac) 诗人。他是六首诗的作者，这些诗保存于单一的一部早期手稿 (ms.) 中（大英图书馆 (Brit. Libr.) Add. 14,591）。其中一首诗涉及匈奴 (Huns) 入侵美索不达米亚北部 (North Mesopotamia) 的事实表明，他的写作时间应在约 396 年 (ca. 396) 左右。关于他的生平别无所知（他有时被认定为阿卜萨米亚 (Absamya)，据称是埃弗冷 (Ephrem) 的侄子，据说曾写过一个关于匈奴 (Huns) 入侵的诗篇；或者被认定为埃德萨学校 (School of Edessa) 的负责人基奥雷 (Qiyore)：这两种说法似乎都不太可能）。其他诗篇涉及洗脚礼 (Footwashing)、帕斯查 (Pascha)（圣周四 (Holy Thursday)）、受难 (Crucifixion)、麦子及其象征意义，以及撒该 (Zacchaeus)。（在这部唯一的手稿 (ms.) 中，只有关于受难 (Crucifixion) 和匈奴 (Huns) 入侵的诗篇被明确归于库里洛纳 (Qurillona)。）
