Prologue

"Eusèbe de Césarée, quand il écrivait le texte de l’Histoire ecclésiastique a presque raconté les choses qui se trouvent dans les autres écrits. Car il écrivit en dix livres pratiquement toutes les passions des martyrs, évêques et confesseurs, et il décrivit aussi leurs combats dans toutes les éparchies, et ceux des femmes et des vierges qui entrèrent dans la lutte pour notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ avec des pensées viriles."1 "ܐܘܣܒܝܘܣ ܕܩܣܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܨܘܪܬܐ ܕܐܩܠܝܣܝܣܛܝܩܐ ܡܟܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܒܨܝܪ ܕܢܬܢܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܡ̈ܟܬܒܢܘܬܐ ܐܚܪ̈ܢܝܬܐ ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܫܪ̈ܒܐ ܥܣܪ̈ܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܢܫ ܢܐܡܪ ܚ̈ܫܐ ܕܣܗ̈ܕܐ ܘܐܦܝ̈ܣܩܘܦܐ ܘܡ̈ܘܕܝܢܐ ܘܐܦ ܬܟܬ̈ܘܫܝܗܘܢ ܕܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܘܦܪ̈ܟܝܐܣ ܟܬܒ. ܘܬܘܒ ܕܢ̈ܫܐ ܘܕܒ̈ܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܒܬܪ̈ܥܝܬܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܢܝܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܐܓܘܢܐ ܥܠܘ ܐܟܬܒ."1

Incipit

"ܣܝܠܝܒܝܣܛܪܘܣ ܗܟܝܠ ܒܛܠܝܘܬܗ ܠܩܘܪܝܢܘܣ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܡܫܡܫ ܗܘܐ. ܘܕܝܠܗ ܕܗܢܐ ܡܡܠܠܐ ܘܙ̈ܢܝܐ ܠܩܛ. ܘܝܨܝܦܘܬܐ ܚܦܝܛܐܝܬ ܕܝܠܗ ܡܡܠܐ ܗܘܐ."1 "Dans sa jeunesse Silvestre servait donc le prêtre Quirinus et il recueillit son éloquence et ses manières et il prenait soin de lui avec zèle."1

Explicit

"ܗܿܘܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܥܡܟ ܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܗܿܢܘܢ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ. ܘܟܠ ܕܬܫܐܠ ܒܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܝܿܗܒܝܢ ܠܟ. ܗܘܝ ܚܠܝܡ ܐܓܘܣܛܘܣ ܕܠܥܠܡܝܢ. ܒܪܐ ܡܝܩܪܐ ܒܒܘܪ̈ܟܬܐ ܛܒ̈ܬܐ ܗܘܝ ܪܘܙ."1 "Car ces prophètes avec qui Dieu a parlé sont avec toi; et tout ce que tu demanderas par eux, ils te le donneront. Sois fort, Auguste, pour les siècles, noble fils, sois prospère dans de bonnes bénédictions."1
