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)。
