“باسم مار شبطاي من نساك القرن الخامس، ازآء دير مار ابحاي وبقرب دير فسقين في كركر جدد عمارته اثناسيوس دنحا مطران الرها 1171-1191 وفيه اقام يوحنا الثاني عشر في رهبنته وفيه رسم بطريركاً، وظل عامراً حتى اوائل المئة السابعة عشرة” 2
“was built in the name of St. Shabtai, a fifth-century ascetic, opposite the Monastery of Mor Abḥai, near the Monastery of Fusqīn in Karkar. It was restored by Athanasius Denḥa, metropolitan of Edessa (1171-1191). While a monk, Patriarch John XII resided in this monastery and in it he was consecrated Patriarch, it remained populated until the beginning of the seventeenth century.” 3
Notes
In Dolabani's translation of Barsoum's description “ܕܰܢܚܳܐ” should read “ܕܶܢܚܳܐ” and "1171 . 1191" should read "1171 - 1191".
