博学的修士和作家。

Learned monk and author. He studied under Shemʿon Shanqlawi and was a monk of the famous monastery of Beth Qoqa in Adiabene ; his fame as a scholar was such that he attracted pupils also from the Syr. Orth. Church, among them Yaʿqub bar Shakko . He was the author of an important grammar (unpublished) and a number of verse works on philosophy and on liturgy. His theological compendium Zqorā mlaḥḥmā (‘Well-woven fabric’) exists in several mss. and is quoted in later E.-Syr. literature.

博学的修士与作家。他曾师从谢蒙·尚克拉维 (Shemʿon Shanqlawi),并为亚底比尼 (Adiabene) 著名的贝特·科卡 (Beth Qoqa) 修道院的修士;他的学者声誉如此之高,以至于吸引了来自叙利亚正教会 (Syr. Orth. Church) 的学生,其中包括雅各布·巴尔·沙科 (Yaʿqub bar Shakko)。他著有一部重要的语法书(未出版)以及多部关于哲学和礼仪的诗歌作品。他的神学概要《精织织物》(Zqorā mlaḥḥmā) 现存于多部手稿 (mss.) 中,并被后期的东方叙利亚 (E.-Syr.) 文献所引用。
