“شرقي مذيات مسيرة اربع ساعات عنها اشهر اديار طورعبدين، بناه الناسكان مار صموئيل ومار شمعون عام 397 ثم اطلق عليه اسم رئيسه واسقفه مار جبرائيل 667 + صار كرسيا لمطارنة طورعبدين سنة 615 حتى 1049 ثم انفرد مطرانه برئاسة قسم واسع من الجبل ثم انحصر بابرشية خاصة به حتى سنة 1915 تخرج فيه اربعة بطاركة ومفريان وتسعة وسبعون اسقفاً لا يزال عامرا آهلا.” 4
“214. Gabriel, Monastery of Mor” 1
“four hour journey east of Midyat, is the most famous monastery in Tur ʿAbdin. It was built in 397 by the two ascetics, St. Samuel and St. Simon. It is commonly called the Monastery of St. Gabriel, after its abbot and bishop Gabriel (d. 667). This monastery was the metropolitan see of Tur ʿAbdin from 615 to 1049. Afterwards, its metropolitan was the ecclesiastical leader of a large part of Tur ʿAbdin; still later, however, his jurisdiction was restricted to a private diocese until 1915. This monastery claims four Patriarchs, a Maphryono and seventy bishops. It is still inhabited.” 5
“The Monastery of Qarṭmin began long before its official foundation date of 397.” 1
