In the late 19th century a series of Syriac inscriptions was discovered by several priests working in the mission in Chosrava. These inscriptions demonstrate both linguistic unity with other Syriac inscriptions from the period and distinct qualities of a local dialect used within the ancient Persian district of Salamas. Four of the engravings are funerary inscriptions from cemeteries, while the other four come from ancient church buildings. The present publication offers a transcription and translation for each inscription accompanied by a brief commentary on their unique features. The introduction provides a helpful overview of the history of the discovery and publication of these inscriptions, as well as a brief discussion of the linguistic development of the dialect of Syriac spoken in Salamas as opposed to the Syriac spoken in Urmia.

The Martyrdom of St Phokas of Sinope

The fame of the martyr St. Phokas, first bishop of Sinope (on the Black Sea) and patron of seafarers, had spread to many parts of the Christian world by the fifth and sixth centuries. Although the Acts of his martyrdom under Trajan were composed in Greek, the earliest witness to them is the Syriac translation which is edited and translated here from two early manuscripts.
