The basic curriculum of logic in Syriac worked up towards a full description of the assertoric syllogisms and so a number of introductions to logic survive in Syriac which include substantial descriptions of this system. The present paper offers a first edition and translation of one of these descriptions, written by Severus Sebokht in the seventh century. We have also offered a comprehensive Greek-Syriac glossary as a contribution to the better understanding of the development of the philosophical lexicon in Syriac and Arabic. The text offers some insight into the manner in which Greek philosophy was respected and taught in the mediaeval Syriac milieu.
