著有一部关于“从巴比伦 (Babylon) [被掳] 归回,以及论但以理 (Daniel) 的周数”的作品。

Author of a work on ‘the return [of the Captivity from] Babylon, and on the Weeks of Daniel’, known from a single ms. where he is described as ‘nosok[omos] (infirmarian)… of Edessa ’. The work, whose end is lost, is primarily concerned with chronological problems, reconciling and interpreting the beginnings and ends of Jeremiah’s ‘70 years’ (Jer 25:11–12), Daniel’s ‘70 weeks’ (Dan 9:24–5) and the ‘three weeks’ of his fast (Dan 10:2). Eusebius ’s Chronicle is the only source specifically mentioned.

一部关于《论从巴比伦 (Babylon) 被掳归回及但以理 (Daniel) 的周数》(‘the return [of the Captivity from] Babylon, and on the Weeks of Daniel’) 的作品的作者,仅见于一份手稿 (ms.),其中他被描述为“埃德萨 (Edessa) 的病员护理者(nosok[omos])”……。该作品末尾残缺,主要关注年代学问题,协调与阐释耶利米 (Jeremiah) 之“七十年”(耶利米书 (Jer) 25:11–12)、但以理 (Daniel) 之“七十个七”(但以理书 (Dan) 9:24–5)及其禁食的“三周”(但以理书 (Dan) 10:2)的起止。唯一明确提及的史料是优西比乌 (Eusebius) 的《编年史》(Chronicle)。
