Above all, the Ad Virgines have a fairly complex textual tradition: in fact the Greek original is preserved only in scattered quotations in the Pandette of Antioch of Saint Sheba whereas the complete text is known to us only through the Syriac and Coptic translations, both of which are witnessed in fragments or late manuscripts. In the present contribution, we will focus on the Syriac translation and we will analyze some of its most interesting translational features: the division of the text into two «letters»; «anachronistic» elements in the translation, and biblical quotations. The conclusion is that the Ad Virgines are a unique piece of literature, an exhortation, reshaped as «epistiles» in analogy to 1–2 Cl, perhaps already in the Greek original and translated into Syriac in Edessa, within (pre-) monastic circles around 3rd to 4th century.
