Symmachus
From Encyclopedia of Syriac Literature
Revision as of 08:52, 23 August 2006 by Rogerpearse (talk | contribs)
This otherwise unknown West Syrian (monophysite) author has left an imaginative "Life of Abel" (ET). He is probably not the same man as the Symmachus who wrote a commentary on "Song of Songs" 6:10-end, to supplement that of the Syriac translation of Gregory of Nyssa's commentary on that book.
