柱头修士萨吉斯 (Sargis the Stylite)（8 世纪）[叙利亚正教会 (Syr. Orth.)]
Body
Author of a ‘letter’ that addresses dogmatic points; disputant with a Jewish interlocutor.
一封论述教义要点的“书信”之作者；与犹太对话者的论辩者。
A ‘Letter’ attributed to ‘Sargis the Stylite of Gusit’ (near Ḥimṣ ) ‘against a Jew who argued that God has no son, and that God has not begotten’ is preserved in a single ms. of the 8th/9th cent. According to its editor the work must belong to the 8th cent. (and not the late 6th, as had earlier been suggested). It is a literary work based on several sources, among them a collection of testimonia; there is also a section on images (of interest in view of the date). In part the work may also be based on an actual discussion with a Jew.
一封归于“古西特（靠近霍姆斯 (Ḥimṣ)）的柱行者塞尔吉斯”（Sargis the Stylite of Gusit）的“书信”（Letter），题为“驳一位声称上帝无子且上帝未生子的犹太人”（against a Jew who argued that God has no son, and that God has not begotten），保存于一份 8/9 世纪 (8th/9th cent.) 的单一抄本 (ms.) 中。据其编者称，该作品必属于 8 世纪 (8th cent.)（而非早先提出的 6 世纪末 (late 6th)）。这是一部基于多种来源的文学作品，其中包括一部见证集 (testimonia)；其中还有一节关于图像 (images) 的内容（鉴于其年代，这一点颇受关注）。该作品部分内容也可能基于与一位犹太人的实际讨论。
