Fig. 123c. ʿArdnas, Ṭur ʿAbdin, inscription reused in a wall adjoining
the Beth Ṣlutho of the Church of Mor Quryaqos. The text, dated 1206/7, was
published by A. Barsoum, Maktbonuto d-ʿal atro d-Ṭur
ʿAbdin (1964), 136 and reads: ‘For the glory of God and for the
honor of His holy name, and for the commemoration of Mor Quryaqos, the
glorious martyr. Gabriel the sinner, son of Masʿud, took care to have this
altar (stone) made. Let everyone who reads pray for him and his parents.
This took place in the year 1518 of the Greeks. The sinner Mushe inscribed
it.’ Photo: Helen Brock (1985).
