    Eugenius was a native of Clysma,ܩܠܘܙܡܐ. He left Egypt with 70 disciples, and went to Nisibis, where he settled on the river Mascas,ܢܗ̣ܪ ܡܫܟ, to the south of the city,fol. 261 a. He assisted at the consecration of Jacob as bishop of Nisibis, and was there when the city was unsuccessfully besieged by the Persians. A letter of the emperor Constantine, quoted on fol. 267 b, speaks of him, Antony, and a third ascetic named ܐܝܠܘܢ, in the following terms ܬ̈ܠܬܐ ܩܢܘ̈ܡܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘ ܒܗ̇ ܒܒܪܝܬܐ̇. ܘܐܝܟ ܥܲܡܘ̈ܕܐ ܐܩ̣ܝܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܪܢ ܒܐܪ̈ܒܥ ܦܢܝ̈ܬܐ̇. ܟܕ ܢ̇ܗܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܙܠܝܩ̈ܐ ܫܡ̈ܝܢܐ ܕܕܢܚ̣ܘ ܒܐܢܫܘܬܢ̇. ܘܡ̇ܢܗܪܝܢ ܠܪ̈ܥܝܢܐ ܚܫܘ̈ܟܐ̇. ܏ܘܫ. ܒܗܠܝܢ ܬ̈ܠܬܐ ܐ̈ܓܘܢܝܣܛܐ̣ ܡܢ ܙ̇ܒ̣ܢܐ ܡܦ݁ܣܐ̣ ܒܗܘܢ ܡ̇ܠ̣ܟܘܬܢ܀ ܐܢܛܘܢܝܘܣ̣ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ܀ ܘܐܝܠܘܢ̣ ܒܣܦܪ ܝ̇ܡ̣ܐ܀ ܘܡܪܝ ܐܘܓܝܢ ܕܫ̇ܢܝ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܐܬ݂ܐ ܥܡ̣ܪ ܒܦܢ̣ܝܬܟܘܢ̣ ܘܐܢ̣ܗܪܗ̇܀ ܏ܘܫ. He lived through the reign of Julian the Apostate,fol. 273 a, and had an interview with Jovinian or Jovian,fol. 273 b. When Nisibis was surrendered to the Persians,A.D. 363, he and his disciples were kindly treated by Sapor,fol. 274 a, who bestowed on them by deed a village called ܗ̣ܢܕܓܝܢ, with the mill ܪܚܝ̣ܐ, that was near it,fol. 275 a. Eugenius appears to have died soon after, though the precise date of his death is not recorded.

    Behnām was the son of Sennacherib, king of Assyria( ܢܚܝܪܝܒ ܡ̇ܠܟܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܐܬܘܪ ), and was converted to Christianity, with his sister Sarah( ܣܪܐ ), by Matthew( ܡܐܬܝ ), who had taken refuge on a mountain near Nineveh from the persecution of Julian the Apostate. The brother and sister were put to death by the king their father, who afterwards himself became a Christian, and bestowed many favours on Matthew, for whom he built the great monastery on the mountain afterwards called Ṭur Elpheph, from the thousands of monks who resorted to it:ܘܡܢ ܐܬܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܡܒ̈ܥܕܐ ܡܬܟ݁ܢܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐ̇ܬܝܢ ܕܝܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܥ̇ܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܒܛ̣ܘܪܐ ܗ̇ܘ܆ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܣܓ̣ܝܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܛ̣ܘܪܐ. ܘܣܠ̣ܩܘ ܡܢܝܢܗܘܢ ܕܕܝܪ̈ܝܐ̇܆ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܒ̈ܥܐ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ. ܟܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܫܩ̈ܝܦܐ ܥ̇ܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ. ܐܚܪ̈ܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܥܪ̈ܐ. ܐܚܪ̈ܢܐ ܒ̇ܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܪܘ̈ܣܝܬܐ ܐܘܟܝܬ ܛܝܪ̈ܐ ܘܝ̇ܬܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ̈ܝܢ. ܘܡܢ ܥܠ̣ܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܬܩ̣ܪܝܛ̣ܘܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܐܠܦ̣ܦܐܘܟܝܬ ܕܐ̈ܠܦܝܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ.

They took refuge in a town in the desert, built by a recluse named Gabriel, and called ܒܘܪܓܐ ܕܚܒ̈ܝܫܐ . Here Jacob left the others, and was led by the spirit to Tarsus(fol. 416a). Hence he wandered, with a youth Antonius, to Amid( ܐܡܝܕ ), where he cured the son of the governor Anthimus ( ܐܢܬܝܡܘܣ ), a relative of the emperor Theodosius. Here he made the acquaintance of an abbat of Ṭur-'Abdin named Bar-shabbā( ܒܪܫ̇ܒ̣ܐ ), who persuaded him to go with him to Ḥiṣn Kīfā( ܚܣܢܐ ܕܟܐܦܐ ), where Rufus( ܪܘܦܘܣ ), the brother of Anthimus, was governor. Having received the blessing of Sergius, the metropolitan, they departed, and travelled as far as a village called ܩ̣ܢ ܥܘܪܒܐ , where they were joined by a youth named Hālā( ܚܳܠܐܳ ), and where Antonius died suddenly. At another village they were hospitably received by a man named Ḥabib( ܚܒܝܒ ), whose son Daniel was cured by Jacob. Accompanied by this boy, they reached Ḥiṣn Kīfā, where Benjamin was bishop. After residing here two months, they were captured by Shamir( ܫܡܝܪ ), the Persian general, and Bar-shabbā suffered martyrdom, with ten of his disciples,fol. 419a. Immediately afterwards the Persian army was dispersed and destroyed by a hailstorm and earthquake, and the Persians never ventured to invade that district again. Jacob built here a small convent, which he called ܕܝܪܐ ܕܚܒܝܫܐ , or the Convent of the Recluse, and in it he continued to reside, attended by his disciple Daniel (for Ḥālā resided in a convent of his own,fol. 422b), till he died, on the 20th of Īlūl, A.

Vellum, about 19 in. by 12 1/2, consisting of 452 leaves, of which some are much stained and torn, especially foll. 1—4, 9, 10, 120, 443, and 448. Originally it had 50 quires, but the whole of ܐ is now wanting, as also the whole of ܓ, except the first leaf (fol. 10). Leaves are likewise missing after foll. 9, 47, 443, 444, 446, 447, 448, and 451. The quires are signed with letters. Each page is divided into two columns, with the exception of foll. 251, 254 b, 255 a, and 321—330, which have three. The number of lines in each column varies from 38 to 50. Foll. 137 b and 138 a, as well as portions of foll. 54 b and 340 b, have been intentionally left blank.

This manuscript is written in a good, regular hand, and dated A. Gr. 1508, A.D. 1197

- On fol. 452 b there are two notes, both in the handwriting of the scribe. The first is an attestation by Michael the Great, patri­arch of Antioch (A. Gr. 1478—1511), that this book was written at the expense of the deacon #Saliba, of the monastery of Bar-ṣauma at Melitene (see Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. ii., Dissert. de Monophys., art. ix., monast. Barsumae), to be deposited in the library of that convent, in the year of the Greeks, 1508, A.D. 1197.

On fol. 452 b there are two notes, both in the handwriting of the scribe. The second note states that the book was written by a monk named Joseph, a cousin of the above mentioned #Saliba, resident at the time in the convent of Abu Ghalib (ܐܒܘܓܠܒ) , whence he was summoned for the purpose.
