Monk and poet. Sargis bar Waḥle from Adharbayjān, was a monk in the Monastery of Rabban Hormizd near Alqosh , possibly around the turn of the 15th–16th cent. He wrote a lengthy metrical poem on the founder of this monastery, Rabban Hormizd, consisting of 22 tarʿe (strophes), according to the letters of the Syriac alphabet, set in end rhyme and intended to be recited on the occasion of the saint’s dukrānā. Its language is artificial and characterized by the extensive use of rare words and Greek loan words. A metrical poem on Mar Aḥa, which existed in ms. () Diyarbakır 76, is said to have been written in a more natural style (Scher). Abūna’s and Macuch’s assumption that Sargis is also the author of ʿonyāthā on the E.-Syr. Catholicoi as well as on Rabban Khudahwi and Sabrishoʿ of Beth Qoqa is based on an erroneous interpretation of the passage on Sargis in Baumstark’s Geschichte der syrischen Literatur.
修士兼诗人。来自阿达尔拜疆 (Adharbayjān) 的塞尔吉斯·巴·瓦赫莱 (Sargis bar Waḥle) 是阿尔戈什 (Alqosh) 附近拉班·霍尔米兹德修道院 (Monastery of Rabban Hormizd) 的一名修士，时间可能在 15 至 16 世纪 (cent.) 之交。他写了一首关于该修道院创始人拉班·霍尔米兹德 (Rabban Hormizd) 的长篇格律诗，由 22 首塔雷 (tarʿe，诗节) 组成，按照叙利亚字母表的字母顺序，采用尾韵，旨在圣人的杜克拉纳 (dukrānā，纪念) 场合诵读。其语言造作，特点是大量使用罕见词汇和希腊语借词。一首关于马尔·阿哈 (Mar Aḥa) 的格律诗，曾见于手稿 (ms.) () 迪亚巴克尔 (Diyarbakır) 76 号，据称写作风格更为自然 (Scher)。阿卜纳 (Abūna) 和马库赫 (Macuch) 假设塞尔吉斯也是关于东方叙利亚大公宗主 (E.-Syr. Cath.)、以及拉班·胡达维 (Rabban Khudahwi) 和贝特·科卡 (Beth Qoqa) 的萨布里肖 (Sabrishoʿ) 的奥尼亚塔 (ʿonyāthā，赞美诗) 的作者，这一假设基于对鲍姆施塔克 (Baumstark) 的《叙利亚文学史》(Geschichte der syrischen Literatur) 中关于塞尔吉斯段落的错误解读。
