Notes
In hagiography: Māqārīs (Macarius) the
Elder was an ascetic who came into the Syriac tradition via ʿEnanishoʿ's Syriac translation of the Paradise of
the Fathers
[http://syriaca.org/work/403]
by Palladius.
The identity of the
multiple ascetic authors and saints named Macarius has been a source of
confusion, both in the medieval Syriac traditions and in present
scholarship.10
