“ܐܣܬܩܒܠ ܕܝܢ ܛܘܒܢܐ ܩܘܙܡܐ ܢܦܝܩ ܗܘ̣ܐ ܕܢܣܥܘܪ ܟܪ̈ܝܗܐ: ܡܛܠ ܕܫܒܬܗ ܗܘ̣ܬ: ܘܛܘܒܢܐ ܕܡܝܢܐ ܒܚܢܘܬܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘ̣ܐ.” 1

“Il arriva que le bienheureux Côme sortait pour visiter les malades, car c’était sa semaine, et le bienheureux Damien était à la boutique.” 1

“ܟܠܡܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܐܒܐ ܐܘ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܗܘܿܐ ܠܗ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܗܘܿ: ܠܘܬ ܓܪ̈ܡܝܗܘܢ ܕܛܘ̈ܒܢܐ ܪܗܿܛ ܗܘ̣ܐ: ܘܥܘܕܪܢܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܩܒܠ ܗܘ̣ܐ: ܟܠ ܝܘ̈ܡܝ ܚܝܘ̈ܗܝ ܕܥܠܡܐ. ܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܨ̈ܠܘܬܗܘܢ... ܐܡܝܢ.” 1
