“ܥܰܠ ܣܶܦܬܳܐ ܕܰܦܪܳܬ ܕܝܰܡܝܢܐ ܡܰܪܕܶܐ ܦܶܠܓܘܬ ܫܳܥܐ ܡܶܢ ܥܘܪܒܝܫ ܩܪܺܝܬܐ ܕܰܒܩܰܪܝܒܘܬ ܓܰܪܓܰܪ ܐܶܬܒܢܝ ܒܳܬܰܪ ܡܰܐܬܐ ܚܡܝܺܫܳܝܬܐ. ܘܐܶܬܕܰܟܪܗ ܡܰܟܬܰܒܙܰܒ̈ܢܐ ܒܪܝܫܐ ܕܡܰܐܬܐ ܬܫܝܥܳܝܬܳܐ ܘܐܰܘܠܶܕ ܠܥܺܕܬܳܐ ܚܰܕ ܦܰܛܪܝܰܪܟܐ ܘܐܰܪܒܥܣܪ ܐܶܦܝܣܩ̈ܘܦܐ ܘܥܰܡܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܪܝܫ ܡܰܐܬܐ ܘܰܬܡܳܢܥܶܣܪ̈ܐ ܘܚܰܪ̈ܒܬܗ ܩܰܝ̈ܡܳܢ ܥܕܰܡܐ ܠܝܰܘܡܳܢ.” 2
“علي ضفة الفرات اليمنى مسيرة نصف ساعة من قرية عوربيش بقرب كركرانشيء بعد المئة الخامسة؟ و ذكره التاريخ صدر المئة التاسعة. وانجب بطريركاً واربعة عشر اسقفاً وظلّ عامرا آهلاً حتى صدر المئة الثامنة عشر وبقي منه اطلال” 3
“or the Monastery of the Ladders, is on the right bank of the Euphrates, a half-hour journey from the village of ʿUrbīsh, near Karkar. It was established sometime after the fifth century and was first mentioned by historians in the beginning of the ninth century. It produced one Patriarch and fourteen bishops. It was inhabited until the beginning of the eighteenth century. Some of its ruins are still standing.” 4
