Abstract

A Syriac translation of a Greek work which is no longer extant. The authorship of this anti-Chalcedonian life of Peter the Iberian is unknown and disputed, but widely thought to be John Rufus, since the author appears to have been a close associate of Peter. The lawyer Theodore of Ashkelon has been suggested, but he is mentioned in ways that seem to distinguish him from the author of the text. Zacharias Rhetor, who wrote about Peter in his chronicle, is not known to have actually met him.6, 14, 15, 16
This work commemorates:

Prologue

“ܕܢܬܥܗܕ ܠܡܕܒܪ̈ܢܐ ܕܝܠܢ̣. ܡܢ ܦܘܠܘ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܐܠܗܝܐ ܦܩܕܝܕܢܢ. ܟܕ ܐܡܿܪ̣ ܗܟܢܐ. ܐܬܥܗܕܘ ܠܡܕܒܪ̈ܢܝܟܘܢ. ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܠܠܘ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ.”1 “Commémorer nos dirigeants est un ordre qui nous a été donné par le divin apôtre Paul, quand il dit: “Commémorez vos dirigeants, ceux qui ont parlé avec vous de la parole de Dieu.”1

Incipit

“ܐܬܪܐ ܡܿܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܛܘܒܢܐ ܦܛܪܘܣ̣. ܐܬܪܐ ܕܐܝܒܪ̈ܝܐ. ܡܫܡܗܐ ܕܗܿܢܘܢ ܓܪ̈ܒܝܝܐ. ܕܠܘܬ ܡܕ̈ܢܚܝ ܫܡܫܐ ܣܝܡܝܢ.”1 “Le pays du bienheureux Pierre était donc le pays des Ibères, pays célèbre de ces Nordiques qui se trouvent du côté du coucher du soleil.”1

Explicit

“ܡܕܝܢ ܗܘ ܡܿܢ ܥܘܗܕܢܗ ܕܐܒܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܗ̣ܘܐ̣. ܒܚܕ ܒܟܢܘܢ ܩܕܝܡ. ܣܝܡܗ ܕܝܢ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܒܐܪܥܐ̣. ܒܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܒܗ ܒܝܪܚܐ. ܫܘܢܝܗ ܕܝܢ ܘܣܝܡܗ ܕܬܚܝܬ ܡܕܒܚܐ̣. ܒܬܠܬܝܢ ܒܬܫܪܝܢ ܐܚܪܝ. ܙܒܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܚܝ̈ܘܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܬܡܢܐܝܢ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ. ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘ̈ܡܬܐ ܡܫܡܠܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܘܟܪܢܗ. ܒܝܘܡܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܫܘܢܝܗ ܕܠܬܚܬ ܡܢ ܡܕܒܚܐ. ܒܗܿܘ ܕܬܪ̈ܝܢ . ܟܕ ܐܬ̣ܐ ܗܘܐ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ. ܒܗܿܘ ܕܬܠܬܐ̣. ܕܣܝܡܗ ܕܒܐܪܥܐ ܡܥܕܥܕܝܢܢ̣. ܒܡܫܝܚܐ... ܐܡܝܢ.”1 “La mort de notre Père eut donc lieu le premier Kanôn I, son premier enterrement le deux du même mois, sa translation et sa déposition sous l’autel le trente Teshrî II. La durée de sa vie fut d’environ quatre-vingts ans. C’est pourquoi nous célébrons sa mémoire pendant trois jours, le premier jour, nous fêtons sa translation sous l’autel, le deuxième, quand vint tout le peuple, le troisième son enterrement; dans le Christ… Amen.”1
