Monk and missionary.

修士与传教士。

Monk and missionary. He was a monk of the Monastery of Beth ʿAbe , but was taken prisoner to Dailam; there, once he had been freed, he converted many pagans. Travelling to Damascus , he is said to have healed a child of ʿAbd al-Malik. He finally settled in Fars , near Arragan, founding a bilingual monastery, with Syriac- and Persian-speaking monks. A fragment of the earliest form of his Life is known in Sogdian translation. Later developments are to be found in an E.-Syr. verse narrative and a W.-Syr. prose Life. There are also short notices in Toma of Marga (‘Book of [monastic] Superiors’, II.22–5) and Ishoʿdnaḥ (‘Book of Chastity’, 104, 116). A few short liturgical texts are attributed to him.

修士与传教士。他是伯特·阿贝修道院 (Monastery of Beth ʿAbe) 的修士,但被俘至达伊兰 (Dailam);在那里获释后,他使许多异教徒皈依。前往大马士革 (Damascus) 途中,据说他治好了阿卜杜勒 - 马利克 (ʿAbd al-Malik) 的一个孩子。他最终定居在法尔斯 (Fars),靠近阿拉干 (Arragan) 的地方,建立了一座双语修道院,其中有讲叙利亚语和波斯语的修士。其最早版本生平传 (Life) 的片段已知有粟特语 (Sogdian) 译本。后来的发展见于东方叙利亚语 (E.-Syr.) 的诗歌叙事和西方叙利亚语 (W.-Syr.) 的散文体生平传 (Life)。玛尔加的托马 (Toma of Marga) 的《院长书》(Book of [monastic] Superiors, II.22–5) 和伊肖达赫 (Ishoʿdnaḥ) 的《贞洁书》(Book of Chastity, 104, 116) 中也有简短记载。有几篇简短的礼仪文本归于他名下。
