The relevant differences between the Syriac version and the original Greek drew the attention of some scholars, who supposed that the Syriac refl ects an ancient phase of the Greek text. This paper aims to clarify the issue of the position of the Syriac <i>Life of John the Merciful</i> within the manuscript tradition, which still represents a desideratum. After a detailed description of the extant diff erent versions of the Greek text, the author focuses on the relation between the Syriac translation and the Greek witnesses, employing the stemmatic method, and provides a list of loci where the edition of the <i>Life </i>can be improved thanks to the Syriac. Conclusions are then drawn, shedding light on the Syriac milieus to be held as responsible for the translation.
