Gregory of Cyprus - ܓܪܝܓܘܪܝܘܣ ܕܩܘܦܪܘܣ

http://syriaca.org/person/21
Monastic author. Very little is known of this Persian monk from Susiana, and earlier scholars wrongly identified him as a contemporary of Epiphanius (d. 403), since one of the three monastic letters he wrote is addressed to a disciple of that name.1
