George of Reshʿayna - ܓܝܘܪܓܝ ܕܪܝܫ ܥܝܢܐ

http://syriaca.org/person/2791
Author of An Early Syriac Life of Maximus the Confessor [http://syriaca.org/work/1406] (d. 662), and a bishop under Sophronios of Jerusalem (r. 634-638). The manuscript witness (BM Add. 7192, ff. 72b-78b) gives his name as both Gewargis and Gregorios, one of which is likely a scribal error.2

Descriptions

Brock tentatively suggests the identification of this George with the author of an apparently monothelete Chalcedonian florilegium contained in BM Add. 14535 ff. 1-20. He considers it unlikely that this author was late enough to be identified with the George present at the Sixth Council (680/681).2
