Syriac Anecdotes, Volumes 3 and 4

[The text begins with a theological hymn]

True for the glory of God, the Son of the Powerful: Son of the Immortal, who exists from the essence of the Father. And from Him proceeded the Son, distinct from every person [hypostasis]. And He was perfected from Heaven and from Him; and also that of the Virgin in His birth, which was revealed to Him from His begetting: to the greatness and to the will of the Father 5 and to all His power. And they were prepared, the glorious ones, and the desired ones went forth to the three. The name of the person [hypostasis] of the lineage for honor. And two are His powers, truly His. The Son—may His grace be for us, for Peter and for Paul. Then for us is the glory of the One who is born; for behold, all the desired ones will be in the manner in which He also exists. He divided His existence, the faithful knower, the strengthener and the vision and in the beauty 10 of His likeness. And He became for us a measure through their hands, and He was the obedient one from them in the evening for His hearing; and in His meditation, what is in the evenings? The time of His holiness works. The living shall be spread well. And that taking of the Father of mysteries and the speech shall be exalted. And we shall be made worthy for salvation and in the exchange from above; for where He signals, salvation gives His hearing: the worker 15 and His speech, immediately, of the martyrs. And to Him be glory and power forever and ever, Amen. Three small circles arranged horizontally as an ornament. The glory of the illustrious and rich Son is finished, through whom are the living, and to Him is completion.
