An examination of these geographical accounts shows that in composing them Bar Ebroyo has, as usual, used a variety of sources both in Syriac (incl. the Syriac <i>De mundo</i>; Jacob of Edessa’s Hexaemeron or a work dependent thereupon) and in Arabic (incl. works of Bîrûnî; geographers of the “Balkhî” school; Battânî’s <i>Zîj </i>or a related work). A comparison of these accounts also brings to light certain tendencies that Bar Ebroyo developed with the progress of his literary career.
