Syriac - 2024 ARCADIA - Buzzpoints App

Question

Sebastian Brock’s academic career has largely focused on works in this language, like a translation of the Hymns on Paradise. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this language in which Eusebius’s Church History recorded a letter from King Abgar that legendarily led to a response from Jesus. Saint Ephrem was a prolific author in this non-Greek language.

ANSWER: Syriac [prompt on Aramaic]

[10m] Another prominent Syriac writer was a Saint Isaac named for this city. A Syriac Christian fast sometimes named for this city recalls a biblical story in which God describes this city’s 120,000 inhabitants as unable to “distinguish their right hand from their left.”

ANSWER: Nineveh [or Nīnwē; accept Saint Isaac of Nineveh; accept Fast of Nineveh or Rogation of Nineveh]

[10e] The Syro-Hexapla, a valuable Syriac translation of part of Origen’s Hexapla, is credited to a man with this name “of Tella.” An apostle with this name converted due to a vision on the road to Damascus.

ANSWER: Paul [accept Saint Paul or Apostle Paul or Paul of Tarsus; accept Saul or Saul of Tarsus; accept Paul of Tella or Pawlos of Tella]
