“باسم السيدة العذراء. ومار ثاودورس دير صغير قديم منقور في الصخر هيكله في صدر جبل مطل على دير الزعفران، حوى رهطا من النساك وتوارت عندنا اخباره منذ القرن الرابع عشر ورئسه اسقف احيانا؛ ينسب اليه اربعة اساقفة وخلا من اهله حول سنة 1927.” 3
“was built in the name of the Virgin and St. Theodorus. It is a small monastery hewn in the rocks in a mountain overlooking the Zaʿfaran Monastery and housed a group of monks. We have a great deal of information about it since the fourteenth century. At times it was administered by a bishop. It became empty, however, about 1927.” 4
