 The MS. of which a portion is here edited, belongs to 
 the Imperial Public Library of St. Petersburg. It is 
 in fine condition, written in a bold Estrangelo character, 
 comprising several works besides the one now published, 
 and is apparently of the sixth century. It is the only known 
 MS. which contains the Syriac text of " The Doctrine of 
 Addai, the Apostle," entire. There exists in the British 
 Museum a MS. of this work, which forms one of the 
 ancient Syriac documents edited and translated by the 
 late Dr. Cureton, and published after his death. That 
 MS., however, is very imperfect. It does not contain so 
 much as a half of the entire text, and consequently the 
 value of the work in so mutilated a condition is greatly 
 impaired. 
 
 Addai, according to Eusebius, was one of the seventy, 
 or according to this document, the Armenian version, and 
 " The Doctrine of the Apostles," one of the seventy-two 
 disciples. "Whatever may be the explanation of this 
 numerical discrepancy, it must in either case be inferred 
 that Addai was one of the second batch of disciples, 
 ordained by our Lord to the office of the ministry (Luke 
 X. 1). The purpose of his mission to Edessa is stated in 
 
IV PREFACE. 
 
 the beginning of the document. Abgar, the then king of 
 Edessa, sent Hannan, the keeper of the archives, and 
 others to Sabiuus, the deputy in the east of the emperor 
 Tiberius, with letters concerning the affairs of the king- 
 dom. The messengers, having most probably heard of 
 the fame of Christ, took that opportunity of going to 
 Jerusalem to see Him. Having entered that city, they 
 saw Christ, and rejoiced. Hannan wrote down what he 
 saw and heard of Christ, for the sake of making a full 
 report to Abgar of our Lord's wonderful deeds on his 
 return to Edessa. The king was greatly impressed by 
 what was related to him, and as he himself was afflicted 
 with a disease, and unable to obtain a cure, he wrote a 
 letter to Jesus, entreating Him to come and heal him. 
 Hannan, the bearer of the letter, delivered it to Jesus. 
 A verbal reply was returned by our Lord to Abgar, in 
 which He promised that after He had gone up to His 
 Father, He would send one of His disciples to cure him of 
 the disease. After Christ had ascended to heaven, Addai 
 was the disciple selected by Judas Thomas to go on the 
 mission to Edessa. His arrival at the city was soon 
 made known to Abgar, who sent immediately for him. 
 Abgar, surrounded by his nobles, received Addai, and he 
 in their presence cured the king of the disease from 
 which he had for a long time been suffering. 
 
 A very important inquiry is that which concerns the 
 genuineness, the authorship, &c., of " The Doctrine of 
 Addai, the Apostle." Into this inquiry it is necessary to 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 enter. When we consider the great deeds of Addai, his 
 miracles, and the success of his labours as an evangelist, 
 we might reasonably infer that some written account of 
 them would soon appear. Accordingly we find it stated 
 at the conclusion of the document, that, agreeably to the 
 custom of the kingdom, Labubna, the king's scribe, 
 "wrote these things of Addai, the Apostle, from the 
 beginning to the end;" whilst Hannan, the king's 
 sharrir, placed the account among the records. As to 
 the expression "from, the beginning to the end," we 
 understand no more than that all which was written of 
 the doings of Addai, and deposited in the archives of 
 Edessa, was written by Labubna. The report drawn up 
 by him might have consisted only of memoranda of the 
 principal acts and chief points of the teaching of Addai, 
 or he miojht have written in the main the document 
 as we now have it. The latter is the opinion of 
 Dr. Alishan, who translated the Armenian version of 
 "The Doctrine of Addai," under the title of "Lettre 
 d'Abgar." His words are: — " Notre opinion est qu'il est 
 en grande partie redige par Laboubnia, Archiviste 
 d'Edesse, contemporain d'Abgar et des disciples de notre 
 Sauveiu-." I am inclined to this opinion; for if "we 
 except certain interpolations, the whole history seems to 
 be consistent with itself, as if it issued from the pen of 
 one and the same individual. The interpolations are 
 considerable. In one place the Acts of the Apostles are 
 mentioned, in another the Epistles of St. Paul; but 
 
VI PREFACE. 
 
 neither the Acts nor the Epistles could have been 
 known to the Church in the time of Addai. In another 
 place it is recorded that a large multitude assembled day 
 by day for prayer and to read the Diatessaron of Tatian, 
 which was not compiled till about the middle of the 
 second century. The paragraph in p. 50 of the trans- 
 lation, about the ordination of Palut by Serapion, Bishop 
 of Antioch, is contradicted in p. 39, where it is said that 
 Palut was ordained an elder by Addai. The narrative of 
 the portrait of our Lord painted by Hannan, which 
 follows immediately after Abgar's letter, and our Lord's 
 reply is not alluded to by Eusebius, although he has 
 followed the Syriac both before and after this state- 
 ment. This circumstance shows that, if it formed a part 
 of the Syriac text in his time, he did not believe in 
 the truth of what was related. Other passages are met 
 with which contain internal evidence that they did not 
 form a part of the original text. The story of the 
 invention of the cross by Protonice or, as the name is 
 elsewhere written, Petronice must have been written by 
 some person who was very ignorant of the Eoman 
 history of the time when the apostles were living. This 
 is obviously an interpolation, and this and several other 
 passages carry on the face of them their own condemnation. 
 A question arises at what time or times might these 
 interpolations have been introduced into the document. 
 They do not appear to be so many, but that we may 
 fairly assume, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, 
 
PREFACE. Vll 
 
 that they were made by the same individual. The 
 circumstance of the mention of Tatian's Diatessaron shows 
 that they could not have become a part of Addai's work 
 till after the Diatessaron was compiled, and had begun 
 to be used in the Syrian Church. The interpolations, 
 therefore, could not have been introduced till towards 
 the close of the second century. So much for the 
 upper limit. The next question is, Where is the lower 
 limit to be placed ? From what follows, I think we may 
 be able to answer sufficiently this question. Eusebius 
 has devoted a chapter of his Ecclesiastical History 
 to Abgar, and the planting of the church at Edessa 
 by Addai. The Syriac of this chapter, from the letter of 
 Abgar to the end is substantially the same as the Syriac 
 of the corresponding portion of our document. Whoever 
 will take the trouble to compare the two, will find 
 that the variations are not many. He will, I think, be 
 satisfied that Eusebius had our writing before him, 
 when he wrote the thirteenth chapter of the first book 
 of his Ecclesiastical History. Eusebius says :— " The 
 very letters themselves were taken by us from the 
 archives of Edessa." But although the word us is used, 
 it does not follow that the extract was made by himself 
 from the archives. He probably did not make it, for it 
 is not known that he was ever at Edessa. He might 
 have consistently employed the pronoun us^ if the 
 extract, which constitutes a chapter of his history, had 
 been made by a person living at a previous period, who 
 
viii PREFACE. 
 
 wrote, as he himself afterwards did, on the affairs of 
 Abgar, and the origin of the Church at Edessa. It is, 
 indeed, conjectured by Grabe and others that Eusebius 
 might have got the substance of what we find in the 
 thirteenth chapter from the Chronographia of Sextus 
 Julius Africanus ; but I can find very little evidence to 
 support that conjecture. It is much more probable that 
 Eusebius would have before him a work professing to 
 have been written by a contemporary of Addai, and 
 written too in Syriac, the language of the country. He 
 himself says that what is contained in his chapter from 
 the letter of Abgar to the end was translated from 
 Syriac into Greek. 
 
 But the part of the work which Eusebius translated 
 
 does not appear to contain any thing, which would 
 
 Avarrant us to regard it as an interpolation. We cannot, 
 
 therefore, say whether the interpolations existed in the 
 
 Syriac . text used by Eusebius ; but the following 
 
 evidence renders it highly probable that they did. In 
 
 p. 19 of the French translation of the Armenian version 
 
 is the following note : — " Moise de Khorene dans sa 
 
 relation du voyage des Stes. Rhipsimeennes, cite 
 
 et Patronicee et la sainte CroLx, dont elle portait un

PREFACE. IX 
 
 I'Invention de la Croix, cherchez dans laLettre d'Abgar; 
 Fatronicee et lisez-la." "We infer from this quotation 
 that the letter of Abgar (this is sometimes found as the 
 title of the work) containing the story of Protonice was 
 known in the fourth century, that Protonice had then 
 a place in the calendar of the Armenian Church, and 
 that the festival of the Invention of the Cross existed in 
 that century. The festival was founded, as we read 
 in this extract, on the strength of what is related in our 
 document. The story itself must have been much older 
 than the institution of the festival, or it would not have 
 been believed in as a discoveiy in the time of St. James. 
 We may, therefore, fairly conclude that our work 
 contained the story of Protonice, and if so, it contained 
 the other interpolations when it was made use of by 
 Eusebius.* 
 
 What has been advanced goes to show that this 
 ancient Syrian document is to be regarded in the 
 main as genuine. The question of its genuineness has 
 given rise to much controversy. It is one. of very 
 great importance, and demands a candid and patient 
 consideration. Many able scholars, such as Baronius, 
 
 * The story of the Invention of the Cross by Helena, the mother of 
 Constantine, is identical in nearly all the details with this by 
 Protonice. There can be no doubt that one story gave rise to 
 the other ; and as the story of Protonice takes chronological prece- 
 dence, the inference is that the Invention of the Cross by Helena is 
 nothing more than a repetition of this Oriental fable. 
 
X PREFACE. 
 
 Tillemont, Cave, Grabe, and the late Dr. Cureton, 
 have arrayed themselves on the side of the genuineness 
 of the work, which is also defended in the Bollandist 
 Acta Sanctorum. I confess that when I first entered 
 upon the inquiry respecting its genuineness, I did so with 
 a strong prejudice against it. As I proceeded, however, 
 the prejudice became weaker and weaker, till it finally 
 disappeared. I will endeavour to lay before the reader, 
 some additional reasons which, in conjunction with those 
 already brought forward, have produced the conviction 
 in my own mind that the claim of the work to genuine- 
 ness is well founded, and that the objections which have 
 been raised against it may be satisfactorily met. 
 
 First: it is historically true that Abgar Ukkama was 
 king of Edessa in the time of our Lord. Having been 
 long afflicted with a disease, and having heard of the 
 miraculous cures effected by Christ, there is surely 
 nothing more probable, nothing more natural, than that 
 he should write a letter to our Lord inviting Him to 
 Edessa to remove the affliction under which he was 
 labouring. But then oar Lord is said to have written 
 a letter in reply. This has caused — and it is not sur- 
 prising that it should — great opposition. It has been 
 made the main argument of the opponents of the 
 genuineness of the work. It is inconceivable, they say, 
 that if Christ wrote a letter, it should have been 
 hidden for three centuries in the archives of Edessa. 
 Christ is not known to have written anything else. If 
 
PREFACE. XI 
 
 Christ had written a letter to Abgar, it would have 
 been a part of sacred Scripture, and placed at the head 
 of the New Testament; &c., &c. The arguments on 
 which the decree of Gelasius was founded, a.d. 494, 
 against the genuineness of the work rest mainly on the 
 letter of our Lord. Happily for me, it is no part of my 
 duty to answer the arguments which have been advanced 
 against the supposed letter. According to the St. 
 Petersburg MS., and in this it is supported by the 
 Armenian version, the reply of our Lord was merely a 
 verbal message, returned through Hannan to Abgar. 
 He said to Hannan, " Go and say to thy lord," &c. 
 As a further proof that it could have been only a verbal 
 message, it is expressly stated in p. 5 of the translation 
 that Hannan related to Abgar everything which he had 
 heard from Jesus, as His words were put by him in 
 writing. If there be reasons why our Lord did not 
 write a letter, there can be none against a verbal 
 messao-e. This mode of reply was consistent with what 
 our Lord did on other occasions. It was a verbal reply 
 to the question of John the Baptist, which He sent 
 through His messengers (Luke vii. 22). That the reply 
 of our Lord was a written letter is, therefore, an error, 
 and the error was committed by Eusebius. It is not 
 difficult to explain how Eusebius fell into this mistake. 
 He knew that the reply was in writing, and kept in 
 the archives, and he supposed that our Lord Himself 
 had put it in writing, whereas it was done by Hannan. 
 
Xll PREFACE. 
 
 Our Lord, in this answer to Abgar, made no revelation 
 of Himself which He did not make to those disciples 
 who were in attendance on Him. He informed Abgar 
 that He was going to His father ; but this communication 
 He repeatedly made to His followers. See John xiv. 
 12, 28; xvi. 10; &c. 
 
 Again, in the discourse of Addai to the assembled 
 Edessenes, and in his farewell address, there are 
 passages which we find in the Gospels ; but this cir- 
 cumstance cannot be cited as evidence against the 
 genuineness of the w^ork. Though these passages are 
 found in the Gospels, it does not follow that they are 
 quotations, or that the Gospels were written at the time 
 these discourses were delivered. They consist of striking 
 sayings of our Lord, which from the time they passed 
 His lips would be sure to become current among His 
 followers, and would be frequently cited. They might 
 have existed, and most probably did exist, traditionally 
 among the first Christians, and became well known to 
 them, and would be certain to be highly appreciated. 
 The passages to which I particularly refer are : — p. 10, 
 "The gate of life is strait," Matt. vii. 13, 14; p. 19, 
 "Behold now is the son of man glorified," John xiii. 31; 
 p. 27, " Behold your house is left desolate," Matt. 
 xxiii. 38; p. 41, "Their angels behold the face of the 
 invisible Father;" compare Matt, xviii. 10; p. 43, " He 
 is gone to prepare for His worshippers blessed 
 mansions;" compare John xiv. 2. In p. 9, Addai 
 
PREFACE. XIU 
 
 says, — "We were commanded by our Lord to be 
 without purses and scrips ; " see Luke x. 4. On the 
 other hand, the reading of the Diatessaron, in p. 34, the 
 reading of the Law and the Prophets and the Gospel, 
 and the Epistles of St. Paul and the Acts of the Apostles, 
 in p. 44 ; the reading of the Old Testament and the 
 New, and the Prophets and the Acts of the Apostles, in 
 p. 33, must have been interpolations made at a sub- 
 sequent period by some one, who did not understand 
 what he was writing. Remove these interpolations, and 
 the one in p. 50 already referred to, and especially the 
 story of the Invention of the Cross by Protonice, the 
 most barefaced of all, and you have nothing in the 
 document which bears the aspect of being counterfeit. 
 I do not say that there may not be other insertions 
 made after the time of Labubna; but they are not 
 apparent on the surface. 
 
 To return to the discourse, we find the first part of it 
 devoted to an exposition of the great doctrines of 
 Christianity. There is no ambiguity in the assertion of 
 these doctrines. The incarnation is not more clearly 
 set forth by St. John, nor the atonement by St. Paul, 
 than both these doctrines are by Addai. The resurrec- 
 tion of all men, and the judgment to follow, are also 
 distinctly and impressively declared. But that which 
 seems to constitute the burden of the discourse, and 
 that with which the latter part is much occupied, is the 
 
XIV PREFACE. 
 
 > 
 
 idolatry of those who were listening to the words 
 of Addai. No more conclusive logic against the 
 worship of images and created things is to be met with 
 in the present day. The effect of his preaching was 
 great. By the power of that discourse numbers were 
 persuaded to forsake the idolatry which they had 
 practised, and to embrace the worship of the invisible 
 God. Addai, in his farewell discourse, charges those 
 who were ordained to the ministry, the deacons and 
 priests, to take heed to the duties of their office; for 
 before the judgment-seat of Christ, they would be re- 
 quired to render an account. There are some parts of 
 this address which remind the reader of passages to 
 be met with in the Epistles of St. Paul to Timothy. 
 The duty of the minister is very impressively set 
 forth, and as a whole, it is a model of a pastoral address. 
 Throughout the two discourses, we find nothing but the 
 utterances of pure and eternal truth ; discourses worthy 
 of the time in which Addai lived, and worthy of 
 one ordained to the Christian ministry by Christ 
 Himself. 
 
 The great antiquity of this document must invest it 
 with deep interest from every point of view. It stands 
 chronologically at the head of Syriac classics, and is 
 certainly to be regarded as important both for theological 
 and linguistic purposes. Impressed with this considera- 
 tion, I have been induced to submit the Syriac text in 
 
PREFACE. XV 
 
 its unmutilated state, with an English translation and 
 notes, to the judgment of the public.

 In the three hundred and forty and third year of the

 the twelfth day, Abgar Ukkama sentMarihab and Sham-

 Chronicon Edessenum, Bibl. Or. torn. i. p. 417, ten bore the name of 
 Ab-ar, and ten that of Ma'nu. The meaning of Abgar m Syriac is lame. 
 Lower down we find Abgar called Ukkama. The latter word is a 
 SvTiac adjective, signifying UacTc, and it may have been used 
 b;cause his skin was of a blackish hue. A previous king of Edessa 
 was called Abgar the Bed.

 him twenty and five days. He wrote for them a reply'' 
 Jtg the letters, and sent them to Abgar the king. When 
 j/they went forth from him, they set out and came on 
 the way towards Jerusalem ; and they saw many men, who 
 came from a distance to see Christ, because the fame 
 of his wonderful deeds had gone forth to remote coun- 
 tries. When Marihab, Shamshagram, and Hannan, the 
 keeper of the archives, saw the men, they also came 
 with them to Jerusalem. When they entered Jeru- 
 
 vowels should be inserted. In these two I have followed the French 
 translation of the Armenian version. The latter name Cureton, in a 
 note on Bardesanes, in his Spicilegium Sjriacum, p. 77, calls She-

 following word, Sharrir, express, the one in Latin and the other in 
 Sjriac, the same office, viz. that of keeper of the archives. There 
 is a passage in the Chronicle of Edessa, in which those who were placed 
 over the archives of a city were called the Sharrirs of that city. Bibl.

 the Jews, who were standing in groups, and were con- 
 sidering what they should do to Him ; for they were 
 disturbed to see that a multitude of their people confessed 
 Him. And they were there in Jerusalem ten days, and 
 Hannan, the keeper of the archives, wrote down every- 
 thing which he saw that Christ did ; also the rest of that 
 done by Him, before they went thither. And they 
 departed and came to Edessa, and entered into the pre- 
 sence of Abgar the king, their lord, who had sent them, 
 and they gave him the reply of the letters, which they had

 his princes, who stood before him. Abgar said to them: 
 These mighty works are not of men, but of- God; be- 
 cause there is not any one who can make the dead 
 alive, but God only. And Abgar wished himself to pass 
 over and go "to Palestine, and see with his own eyes all 
 which Christ was doing; but because he was not able to 
 pass through the country of the Romans, which was not 
 his, lest this cause should call forth bitter enmity, he 
 wrote a letter and sent it to Christ by the hand of Hannan, 
 the keeper of the archives. He went forth from Edessa

 week (Wednesday). And he found Christ at the house of

 Gamaliel, the chief priest' of the Jews. The letter was read 
 before Him, which was written thus : — " Abgar Ukkama, 
 to Jesus, the Good Physician, who has appeared in the 
 country of Jeriisalem. My Lord : Peace. I have heard 
 of Thee and of Thy healing, that it is not by medi- 
 cines and roots Thou healest, but by Thy word Thou 
 openest the eyes o/'the blind, Thou makest the lame to 
 walk, cleansest the lepers, and makest the deaf to hear. 
 And unclean spirits'" and lunatics, and those tormented, 
 them Thou healest by Thy word; Thou also raisest the 
 dead. And when I heard of these great wonders which 
 Thou doest, I decided in my mind that either Thou art 
 God, who hast come down from heaven and doest these 
 things, or Thou art the Son of God, who doest all these 
 things. Therefore, I have written to request of Thee 
 to come to me who adore Thee, and to heal the 
 disease which I have, as I believe in Thee, This 
 also I have heard, that the Jews murmur against Thee 
 and persecute Thee, and even seek to crucify Thee, 
 and contemplate treating Thee cruelly. I possess one 
 small and beautiful city, and it is sufficient for both 
 to dwell in it in quietness." 
 
 When Jesus received the letter at the house of the 
 chief priest of the Jews, He said to Hannan, the keeper of 
 the archives : " Go and say to thy lord, who hath sent 
 thee to Me, ' Blessed art thou, who, although thou hast 
 not seen Me, believest in Me, for it is written of Me, 
 Those who see Me will not believe in Me,j^nd those who 
 see Me not, will believe in me." But as to that which

 r<l^Jl4^, is perhaps to be understood with this noun. 
 
 • From the expression " it is written," one would infer that these

 thou hast written to Me, that I should come to thee, 
 that for which I was seat here is now finished, 
 and I am going up to my Father, who sent me,

 thee one of my disciples, who will cure the disease 
 which thou hast, and restore thee to health ; and all 
 who are with thee he will convert to everlasting life. 
 Thy city shall be blessed, and no enemy shall again 
 become master of it for ever.' *' 
 
 When Hannan, the keeper of the archives, saw that ]/ 
 Jesus spake thus to him, by virtue of being the king's 
 painter, he took and painted a likeness of Jesus with 
 choice paints, and brought with him to Abgar the king, 
 his master. And when Abgar the king saw the likeness, 
 he received it with great joy, and placed it with great 
 honour in one of his palatial houses. Hannan, the ' 
 keeper of the archives, related to him everything which 
 he had heard from Jesus, as His words were put by him 
 in writing. After that Christ had ascended to heaven, 
 Judas Thomas^ sent to Abgar, Addai the Apostle, who 
 was one of the seventy-two Apostles. And when Addai 
 came to the city of Edessa, he dwelt at the house of

 be found in any part of that sacred Book. Our Lord said to 
 Thomas : " Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have be- 
 lieved." (St. John XX. 29.) The passage in this reply is somewhat 
 like these words. Although these words are not found in the Old 
 Testament, they are like passages there in sense. See Is. vi. 9 ; lii. 15. 
 
 a There is a tradition preserved by Eusebius, see Smith's Dic- 
 tionary of the Bible, under ' Jude,' that the true name of Thomas 
 (the twin) was Judas ('lovJaj o koI ©wyua?). It is therefore pro- 
 bable that Judas is mentioned in the text to certify that it was the 
 Apostle Thomas, and not another Thomas, who sent Addai to Edessa.

 Tobias,' son of Tobias the Jew, who was of Palestine. 
 Through all the city a report was heard of him, and 
 one of the nobles of Abgar whose name was Abdu,*" the 
 son of Abdu, one of those who sat with bended knees'" 
 before Abgar, went and said concerning Addai : behold, 
 a messenger has come, and dwells here, he of whom 
 Jesus sent to thee, " I send to Thee one of my disciples." 
 And when Abgar heard these words, and the mighty 
 acts which Addai did, and the wonderful cures which 
 he effected, he thought for certain in his mind : Truly 
 this is he whom Jesus sent, saying, " When I have 
 ascended to heaven I will send to thee one of my 
 disciples, and he will cure thy disease." And Abgar sent 
 and called for Tobias, and said to him, I have heard that 
 a certain powerful man has come, and dwells in thy 
 house. Bring him up to me; a good hope of recovery 
 through him has been found for me. Tobias went early 
 on the next day and took Addai the Apostle, and brought 
 him up to Abgar, Addai himself knowing that by the 
 power of God he was sent to him. And when Addai 
 came up and went to Abgar, his nobles standing with 
 him, and in going towards him, a wonderful vision was 
 seen by Abgar in the face- of Addai. At the moment 
 that Abgar saw the vision, he fell down and worshipped 
 Addai. Great astonishment seized all those who were 
 standing before him, for they saw not the vision which

 " Qu'on dit etre de la race des Pacradouni." It appears, on the same 
 authority, that he did not abjure Judaism with his relations, but 
 followed its laws op to the time when he believed in Christ.

 was seen by Abgar. Then Abgar said to Addai, " Of a 
 truth thou art the disciple of Jesus, that mighty one, the 
 son of God, who sent to me saying I send thee one of my 
 disciples for healing and for life." Addai said to him, 
 "Because that from the beginning thou didst believe 
 in Him who sent me to thee, therefore have I been sent 
 to thee, and if thou believest in Him, everything in which 
 thou dost believe thou shalt have." Abgar said to him, 
 *' So have I believed in Him/ that with respect to those 
 Jews who crucified Him, I desire to take with me an 
 army, and to go and destroy them ; but because the king- 
 dom belongs to the Eomans, I was restrained by the 
 covenant of peace, which was confirmed by me with 
 our lord the emperor Tiberius, like my forefathers." 
 Addai said to him, " Our Lord has fulfilled the will of 
 His Father. And when He had completed the will of 
 His Parent, He was taken up to His Father, and sat 
 with Him in glory, with whom he was from eternity." 
 ^Abgar said to him : " I also believe in Him and in His 
 Father." Addai said to him:'' " Because that thou so 
 believest, I place my hand on thee, in the name of Him 
 in whom thou believest." 
 
 At the moment that he placed his hand upon him, he 
 was cured of the plague of the disease, which he had had 
 for a long time.'' Abgar wondered and was astonished, 
 
 which, according to Castle, means gemifiexio, but lie cites no instance 
 in which the noun occurs. The verb is found several times, but the 
 noun is evidently very rare. Ca£tle himself got the word from Bar 
 Bahul.

 that as it was reported to him concerning Jesus, that 
 which He did and cured ; so also Addai himself, without 
 medicine of any kind, healed in the name of Jesus. And 
 also with respect to Abdu, the son of Abdu, he had the 
 gout in his feet, and he too brought his feet near him, 
 and he (Addai) placed his hand upon them and healed 
 him; and he had not the gout again. And also in all 
 the citj^ he wi'ought great cures, and showed wonderful 
 mighty works in it. Abgar said to him : " Now that 
 every man knoweth that by the power of Jesus Chi'ist 
 thou doest these wonderful works, and behold we are 
 wondering at thy works, I require therefore of thee, 
 that thou wouldest recount to us concerning the coming 
 of Christ, how it was, and concerning His glorious 
 power, and concerning those miracles which we have 
 heard that He did, which thou hast seen with the rest 
 of thy companions." Addai said to him : "I will not 
 keep silent from declaring this ; for because of this I was 
 sent here to speak and to teach every one, who, like thee, 
 is willing to believe. To-morrow assemble for me all 
 the city, that I may sow in it the Word of Life, by the 
 preaching which I will preach before you concerning 
 the coming of Christ, how it was, and concerning His 
 glorious power, and concerning Him that sent Him, for 
 what and how He sent Him, and concerning His power and 
 His wonderful works, and concerning the glorious mys- 
 teries of His coming, which He spake in the world, and 
 concerning the certitude of His preaching-, how and for 
 what He abased Himself, and humbled His exalted divi-

 D'Armenie, says that Abgar suffered from a disease which he had caught 
 in Persia more than seven years before, and that he had obtained no 
 remedy for it from men. ,

 nity by the body, which He took, and was crucified and 
 descended to the house of the dead, and cleaved the wall 
 of partition, which had never been cleft, and gave life to 
 the dead by being Himself slain, and descended by Him- 
 self, and ascended with many to His glorious Father, 
 with whom He was from eternity in one exalted divinity. 
 
 And Abgar commanded that they should deliver to 
 Addai silver and gold. Addai said to him: ''How are 
 we able to receive anything which is not ours ? for, be- 
 hold, that which was ours we have forsaken, as we were 
 commanded by our Lord to be without purses and with- 
 out scrips, and carrying crosses upon our shoulders, we 
 were commanded to preach His Gospel to the whole 
 creation: the whole creation felt and sujffered by His 
 crucifixion, which was for us, for the salvation of all men. 
 And he narrated before Abgar the king, and before his 
 princes and his nobles, and before Augustina, the mother 
 of Abgar, and before Shalmath,tlie daughter of Meherdath, 
 the wife of Abgar," the signs of our Lord and His won- 
 ders, and the glorious miracles which He wrought, and 
 His divine triumphs, and His ascension to His Father ; 
 and how they received powers and authorities at the 
 time that He ascended, by which same power he had 
 healed Abgar and Abdu, the son of Abdu, the second 
 person of his kingdom ; and how he made them know 
 that which would be revealed at the end of times, and 
 in the consummation of all creatures, and the resuscita- 
 tion and resm-rection, which is about to be for all men, 
 and the separation which is to be between the sheep and

 And he said to them: " Because that the gate of life is 
 strait and the way of truth is narrow, therefore few 
 are the believers of truth, and in the power of unbelief 
 is Satan's recreation. Because of this there are many 
 liars, who cause to err those who look on. For except 
 that there is a good end for faithful men, our Lord had 
 not descended from heaven, and come to the birth, and 
 to the suffering of death, and also He had not sent us^ to 
 be His preachers and evangelists. Those things which 
 we saw and heard from Him, which He did and taught, we 
 confidently preach before all men ; for we would not do 
 any wrong with respect to the truth of His Gospel. And 
 not these things only ; but also those which were done in 
 His Name, after His ascension, we show and preach.

 marvellous works which he did in the name of Christ ; 
 denied the paganism of her fathers in which she was 
 brought up, and the idolatrous images which she had 
 worshipped ; and she believed in Christ our Lord, and 
 worshipped Him, and praised with those who were joined 
 unto Simon, and held Him in great honour. After 
 this she wished also to see Jerusalem, and those places 
 in which the mighty works of our Lord were done. So 
 she arose promptly and descended from Rome to Jeru- 
 salem, she' and her two sons with her, and her one 
 virgin daughter. 
 
 When she was entering Jerusalem, the city went forth 
 to meet her, and they received her with great honour, as 
 that which is due to the queen, the mistress of the great 
 country of the Romans. But James, who was made 
 director and ruler in the church which was built for us 
 there, when he had heard for what purpose she had gone 
 there, arose and went to her. And he entered into 
 her presence where she was dwelling, in the royal great 
 palace of king Herod. When she saw him, she re- 
 ceived him with great joy, as- also she had Simon Peter. 
 He also showed her cures and mighty works as did Simon, 
 and she said to him : " Show me Golgotha, on which 
 Christ was crucified, and the wood of His cross on which 
 He was suspended by the Jews, and the grave in which 
 
 a A leaf is missing in the MS. after fol. 7. It must have been lost 
 at an early date, and its place is now supplied by a rudely written 
 leaf of the twelfth or thirteenth century. It fills the gap in the 
 Syriac text, caused by the loss of the original. This leaf, having 
 become loose, has been bound as fol. 54 of the MS., in the middle of 
 the Acts of St. John at Ephesus (see Wright's Apocryphal Acts of 
 the Apostles, p. ^) ; moreover, it has been reversed in binding, so 
 that what is really the recto now appears as the verso.

 He was placed.'' James said to her : " These three 
 things which thy Majesty wishes to see are under the 
 control of the Jews. They possess them, and permit us 
 not to go to pray there before Golgotha and the grave, 
 and neither the Avood of His cross will they give us. 
 And not only this, but they also severely persecute us, 
 that we may not publish and preach in the name of 
 Christ, and many times also they bind us in prison." 
 When she heard these things, the queen immediately 
 commanded, and they brought before her Onias, the son 
 of Hannan the priest, and Gedalia, son of Caiaphas, and 
 Judah the son of Ebed Shalom, chiefs and rulers of the 
 Jews. And she said to them : " Deliver up Golgotha, and 
 the grave, and the wood of the cross, to James, and those 
 who agree with him, and let no man forbid them to 
 minister there according to the custom of their ministry." 
 And when she had so commanded the priests, she arose to 
 go and see these places, and she also delivered that place 
 to James, and those who were with him. Afterwards 
 she entered the grave, and found in the grave three 
 crosses, one of our Lord, and two of those robbers, who 
 were crucified with Him, on His right hand and on His 
 left. And at the time that she entered into the grave — 
 she and her children with her — at that instant her virgin 
 daughter fell down and died, without pain, without 
 disease, and without any cause of death. And when the 
 queen saw that her daughter had died suddenly, she 
 kneeled and prayed within the grave, and said in her 
 prayer : " God, who gave Himself to death for all men, 
 and was crucified in this place, and was laid in this 
 gi-ave ; and as God, who keepeth alive all, has risen, and 
 made many to rise with Him, lest the Jews, the cruci- 
 fiers, should hear — and also the erring heathens, whose

 idols and graven images, and the terrors of paganism, 
 I have denied— and they see me, deride me, and say that 
 all this which has happened to her is because that she 
 denied the gods, which she did worship, and confessed 
 Christ, whom she knew not, and went to honour the place 
 of His grave and His crucifixion ; and if, my Lord, 
 I am not worthy to be heard, because that I have wor- 
 shipped creatures instead of Thee; spare Thou, for the 
 sake of Thy adorable Name, that it may not be blas- 
 phemed in this place, as they blasphemed Thee at Thy 
 crucifixion." She said these things in her prayer, and, 
 in the excitement of her supplication, she repeated 
 them before all those who were there. Her eldest son 
 approached her, and said to her ; "Hear that which I 
 shall say before thy Majesty. I think thus in my mind and 
 in my thought, that this death of this my sister, which 
 was sudden, was not for nought ; but this is a wonderful 
 , work, in which God will be praised, and not that His 
 Name will be blasphemed, as those thought, who heard it. 
 Behold, we enter the grave and find in it three crosses, 
 and we know not which of them is the cross on which 
 Christ was suspended. In the death of this my sister, 
 we may be able to see and to learn which is the cross of 
 Christ, for Christ is not neglectful of those who believe 
 in Him, and seek Him." And the queen Protonice— her 
 soul was very sad at this time— saw in her mind that her 
 son spake these things wisely, justly and rightly. And with 
 her hands she took hold of one of the crosses and placed 
 it upon the dead body of her daughter, which lay before 
 her, and she said in her prayer: "0 God, who hast 
 shown wonderful works in this place, as we hear and 
 believe, if this cross, Lord, be Thine, and on it Thy 
 humanity was suspended by the insolent, show the strong 
 
14 THE DOCTRINE OF ADDAI. 
 
 and mighty power of Thy divinity, which dwells in the 
 humanity, and restore to life this my daughter, that she 
 may arise, and Thy Name be glorified in her. May her 
 soul return to her body, that Thy crucifiers may be con- 
 founded and Thy worshippers may rejoice ! And she 
 waited a long time after she had spoken thus. After- 
 wards she took that cross from the dead body of her 
 daughter, and placed another, and also said in her prayer : 
 " O God, by whose nod worlds and creatures endure, 
 and wishing the life of all men that they may be turned 
 to Him, and is not neglectful of the petition of those 
 who seek Him, if this cross be Thine, Lord, show the 
 power of Thy triumphs as Thou art accustomed, and 
 restore to life this my daughter, that she may arise, 
 and the heathens, worshipping Thy creatures instead of 
 Thee, may be confounded, and the faithful and the true 
 may confess, that their mouth may be opened to Thy 
 praise before those who deny Thee ! " And she waited 
 a long time after these things, and took the second 
 cross from her daughter ; and she took the third cross 
 and placed it upon her daughter. And as she was going to 
 lift up her eyes to heaven, and to >open her mouth in 
 prayer, at that moment, at that time, in the twinkling of 
 an eye, that the cross touched the dead body of her 
 daughter, her daughter became alive, and she arose sud- 
 denly, and praised God, who had restored her to life by 
 His cross. But the queen Protonice, when she saw how 
 her daughter became alive, trembled, and was greatly 
 alarmed, but though alarmed she glorified Christ, and 
 believed in Him, that He was the Son of the living God. 
 Her son said to her : " My lady, thou seest that if this had 
 not occurred to-day, it might have happened that they 
 would have left this cross of Christ, by which my

 sister became alive, and have taken and honoured that 
 of one of those murderous thieves. Now, behold, we 
 see and rejoice, and Christ, who has done this thing, is 
 glorified in her."* And she took the cross of Christ, and 
 gave it to James, that it might be kept with great 
 honour. She also commanded that a great and splendid 
 building should be erected over Golgotha, on which He 
 was crucified, and over the grave in which He was placed, 
 so that these places might be honoured ; and that there 
 should be there a place of assembly for prayer, and a 
 gathering for service. 
 
 But the queen, when she saw the whole population of 
 the city, which she had collected for the sight of this 
 work, she commanded that, without the covering of 
 honour worn by queens, her daughter should go iv^ith her 
 unveiled to the palace of the king, in which she dwelt, so 
 that every one might see her and praise God. But the 
 people of the Jews and the Gentiles, who rejoiced at the 
 beginning of this occurrence, and were glad, became 
 very sad at the end of it. For they would have been well 
 pleased if this had not occurred, for they saw on 
 account of this many believed in Christ; and espe- 
 cially when they saw that the miracles, which were 
 done in His Name after His ascension, were many more 
 than those which were done before His ascension. And 
 the fame of this deed which was done went forth to 
 
 a This story of the finding of the cross is the same in most of its 
 details as that which is told of the discovery of it by Helena, the 
 mother of Constantine. It is related of Helena, that on her arrival 
 at Jerusalem, she resolved to lay the foundation of a church, dedicated 
 to the true God, on Mount Calvaiy. In digging, some pieces of 
 wood were discovered, which were recognised as belonging to the 
 cross of our Saviour. These pieces were sent by Helena to Con- 
 stantine.

 distant countries, and also to the Apostles, my com- 
 panions, who preached Christ. And there was rest in 
 the churches of Jerusalem, and the cities round about it ; 
 and those who saw not this deed^ with those who did see 
 it, praised God. And when the queen went up from 
 Jerusalem to the city of Rome, every city which she 
 entered pressed to see the sight of her daughter. And 
 when she had entered Eome, she recounted before the 
 Emperor Claudius those things which had happened; 
 and when the Emperor heard, he commanded that all 
 the Jews should go forth from the country of Italy. In 
 all that country this deed was spoken of by many, and also 
 before Simon Peter this was recounted, which was done. 
 Whatsoever also the Apostles, companions, did, we preach 
 before eveiy man, that those who do not know may like- 
 wise hear those things which, by our hand, Christ 
 did openly, that our Lord might be glorified by every 
 man. These things which I repeat before you are told, 
 that ye may know and understand how great is the faith 
 of Christ among those who truly join themselves to Him. 
 
 But James, the director of the Church of Jerusalem, 
 who with his own eyes saw the deed, gave a written ac- 
 count, and sent it to the Apostles, my companions, in the 
 cities of their countries. And also the Apostles themselves 
 gave written accounts, and made known to James what- 
 soever that Christ had done by their hands, and these were 
 read before all the multitude of the people of the church. 
 
 But when Abgar the king heard these things, he and 
 Augustina, his mother, and Shalmath, the daughter of 
 Meherdath, and Paqur* and Abdshemesh, and Shamsha-

 gram, and Abdu, and Azzai and Bar-kalba, with the rest 
 of their companions, rejoiced exceedingly, and all of them 
 glorified God, and made their confession in Christ. Abgar 
 the king said to Addai : " I wish that everything which 
 we have heard from thee to-day, and the rest also of the 
 other things, thou wouldst tell openly before all the city, 
 that every man may hear the preaching of the Gospel of 
 Christ, which thou teachest to us, that he may rest and 
 be confirmed in the doctrine which thou teachest to us, 
 that many may understand that I believed rightly iu 
 Christ, in the Letter which T sent to Him, and may know 
 that He is God, the Son of God, and thou art His true 
 and faithful disciple, and that thou showest by works His 
 glorious power before those who wish to believe in Him. 
 The day after, Abgar commanded Abdu, the son of Abdu, ' 
 who was healed of a sore disease of his feet, to send a 
 herald, that he may proclaim in all the city that the 
 whole population may be assembled, men and women, 
 at the place which is called Beththabara, the wide space 
 of the house of Avida," the son of Abd-nachad, that they 
 might hear the doctrine of Addai the Apostle, and how 
 he taught, and in the name of whom he cured, and by what 
 power he wrought these miracles, and those wonders he did. 
 For when he healed Abgar the king, it was the nobles 
 only who stood before him, and saw him, when he healed 
 him by the word of Christ, whom many physicians were 
 not able to heal, but a stranger cured him by the faith of 
 
 Christ. 
 
 And when all the city were assembled, men and women, 
 as the king had commanded, Avida and Labbu, and

 Chaphsai, and Bar-Kalba, and Labubna,* and Chesrun,'' and 
 Shamshagratn stood there, with their companions, who as 
 they were princes and nobles of the king, and commanders, 
 and all the workmen and the artisans and the Jews and 
 Gentiles who were in this city, and strangers of the 
 countries of Soba and Harran, and the rest of the in- 
 habitants of all this country of Mesopotamia, all of them 
 stood to hear the doctrine of Addai; concerning whom 
 they had heard, that he was the disciple of Jesus, who 
 was crucified in Jerusalem, and he effected cures in His 
 name. And Addai began to speak to them thus : 
 " Hear, all of you, and understand that which I speak 
 before you ; that I am not a physician of medicines and 
 roots, of the art of the sons of men ; but I am the disciple 
 of Jesus Christ, the Physician of troubled souls, and the 
 Saviour of future life, the Son of God, who came down fi*om 
 heaven, and was clothed with a body and became man ; 
 and He gave Himself and was crucified for all men. And 
 when He was suspended on the wood, the sun He made 
 dark in the firmament ; and when He had entered the 
 grave, He arose and went forth from the grave with 
 many. And those who guarded the grave saw not how 
 He went forth from the grave; but the angels of heaven

 were the preacliers and publishers of His resurrection, who 
 if He had not wished, had not died, because that He is the 
 Lord of death, the exit of all things.^ And except it had 
 pleased Him, He had not again clothed Himself with a body, 
 for He is Himself the framer of the body. For the will 
 which inclined Him to the birth from a virgin, also made 
 Him condescend to the suffering of death, and He 
 humbled the majesty of His exalted divinity,»> who was 
 with His Father from eternity, He of whom Prophets of 
 old spake in their mysteries ; and they represented images 
 of His birth, and His suffering, and His resurrection, and 
 His ascension to His Father, and of His sitting at the 
 right hand. And, behold. He is worshipped by celestial 
 spirits, and by the inhabitants of the earth. He who is 
 worshipped from eternity. For although His was the ap- 
 pearance of men, His might, and His knowledge, and His 
 power were of God Himself; as He said to us, ""Behold, 
 now is the son of man glorified, and God glorifies Him- 
 self in Him, by miracles and by wonders, and by honour of 
 being at the right hand. But His body is the pure 
 vestment of His glorious divinity, by which we are able 
 to see His invisible Lordship. This Jesus Christ, there-

 divinity, because that we were thus commanded by Him, 
 to baptize and absolve those who believe in the name of 
 the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Also the 
 Prophets of old spake thus : that ' The Lord our God and 
 His Spirit hath sent us.'^ And if I speak anything which 
 is not written in the Prophets, the Jews, who are standing 
 among you and hear me, will not receive it; and if, again, 
 I make mention of the name of Christ over those who have 
 sufferings and diseases, and they are not healed by this 
 glorious name, they, worshipping the work of their hands, 
 will not believe. If now these things be written, 
 which we say, in the Books of the Prophets,'' and we 
 are able to show the healing powers upon the sick, not a

 Him whose Gospel lias flown over all the earth, by the 
 miracles which His disciples, my companions, are working 
 in all the earth. And those who were Hebrews, and 
 knew only the Hebrew tongue in which they were born, 
 behold to day speak in all languages, that those who are 
 far off, as those who are nigh, might hear and believe 
 that He is the same, who confounded'^ the tongues of ^ the 
 impious in this district, which lies before us ; He it is 
 who to day teaches through us the faith of truth and 
 verity, by humble and wretched men, who were from 
 Galilee of Palestine. For I also, whom ye see, am from 
 Paneas," from where the river Jordan goes forth. And 
 I was chosen, with my companions, to be a preacher *= of 
 this Gospel, by which, behold, the regions everywhere 
 resound with the glorious name of the adorable Christ. 
 Let, therefore, no man of you harden his heart against 
 the truth and keep his mind at a distance from verity. Be 
 ye not led captive after thoughts destructively erroneous, 
 which are full of the despair of a bitter death.'* Be ye 
 not taken by the evil customs of the paganism of your 
 fathers, and so keep yourselves at a distance from the life 
 of truth and verity, which are in Christ. For those who 
 believe in Him are those who are trusted before Him, 
 who descended to us by His favour, to make to cease from 
 the earth the sacrifices of heathenism, and the offerings

 of idolatry; that creatures should no longer be wor- 
 shipped ; but we should worship Him and His Father, 
 with His Holy Spirit." For I, as my Lord commanded 
 me, behold, I preach and I publish. And His silver on 
 the table, behold I cast before you, and the seed of His 
 word I sow in the ears of every man. Those who wish 
 to receive, theirs is the good reward of confession ; and 
 those who do not obey, against them I scatter the dust of 
 my feet, as my Lord commanded me. Turn ye, there- 
 fore, my beloved, from evil ways and from hateful deeds, 
 and turn yourselves to Him with a good and honest will, 
 as He turned Himself to you with His grace and His 
 rich mercies. And be ye not as the generations of old, 
 which are passed, who, because that they hardened their 
 heart against the fear of God, received punishment openly ; 
 that they may be chastised, and those who came after 
 them may tremble and fear. For that for which our 
 Lord came into the world was altogether'' to teach and 
 show that at the end of created things is a resurrection 
 for all men. And at that time their acts of conduct will 
 be represented on their own persons, and their bodies 
 become volumes for the written things of justice, and 
 there will not be he who knoweth not writing ; because 
 that every man shall read the letters of his own book'= 
 at that day, and the account of his actions he taketh with 
 the fingers of his hands. Thus the unlettered will know 
 the new writing of the new language, and there is not he 
 who will say to his fellow, Kead me this, because that one 
 doctrine and one instruction shall reign over all men.

 Let this thought, therefore, be represented before your 
 eyes, and let it not pass from your mind, because that if 
 it pass from your mind, it passeth not from Justice/ Seek 
 mercies from God, that He may pardon the hateful infi- 
 delity of your paganism, for ye have forsaken Him 
 who created you upon the face of the earth, and makes 
 His rain to descend and His sun to rise upon you, and 
 ye worship, instead of Him, His works. For the idols 
 and graven images of paganism, and whatsoever of the 
 creation in which ye have confidence and which ye worship, 
 if there were in them feeling and understanding, for the 
 sake of which ye worship and honour them, it would be 
 right for them, which ye have engraven and established, 
 and have firmly fixed with nails that they be not shaken, 
 to receive your favour. For if the creatures were aware 
 of your honours to them, they would cry, shouting to you, 
 not to worship your fellows, which like yourselves are 
 made and created ; because that creatures made should not 
 be worshipped; but that they should worship their Creator, 
 and they should glorify Him who created them. And as 
 His grace covers the wicked here,'' so His justice shall 
 be avenged on the infidels there. For I saw in this 
 city that it abounded greatly in paganism, which is against 
 God. Who is this Nebo,'= an idol made which ye worship,

 = Neho was an idol of the Babylonians. Traces of this deity are 
 observed in the proper names, Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, Ac. 
 Nebo seems also to have been worshipped in other places. In 
 Isaiah xlvi. 1, we read that " Nebo stoopeth." It is supposed 
 that at Dibon, a city of Moab, was a temple to Nebo. See Selden,

 and Bel," which ye honour? Behold, there are those among 
 you who adore Bath Nical," as the inhabitants of Harran 
 your neighbours, and Taratha,'=as the people of Mabug, and 
 the eagle, as the Arabians, also the sun and the moon, as the 
 rest of the inhabitants of Harran, who are as yourselves. 
 
 ' Bel was a Babylonian deity. Calmet thinks that the sun was 
 worshipped under this name. But worshipping the sun is mentioned 
 lower down, and further it must, according to Addai, have been an 
 object of worship distinct from Bel. The worshippers of Bel attri- 
 buted to him the gift of healing diseases, and asserted that he ate and 
 drank. See the apocryphal story of the Bel and Dragon. 
 
 ^ Bath Nical. It is here stated that this idol was worshipped in 
 
 Harran. There does not appear to be much known with any certainty 
 
 about it. In the history of Armenia, by Moses of Chorene, translated 
 
 from the Armenian into French by P. E. le Vaillant deFlorival, liv. ii. 
 
 c. 27, this goddess is called Pathincagb. One has not heard of a god 
 
 called Nical, and therefore it may be inferred that Bath Nical was a 
 
 goddess invested with the attribute or attributes implied in the word 
 
 \\ti . The sense of this word, however, is uncertain. The root 
 
 has been supposed to be the Hebrew 7D^ ' he teas able.' If this be 
 
 correct, the distinguishing attribute of this goddess would accordingly 
 
 be power. It has also been suggested that, Ar^^ OM-s is an epithet 
 
 of Venus ^=- ndl^Jk o^T-ia = SoAiocppcov Kcppo^irr}. 
 
 " Taratha. Jacob of Serug, see Assemani, Bibliotheca Orient. I. 
 327, mentions this goddess with others, viz. Nebo, Bel, Sin, Bcl- 
 shemln, Bar-Nemre, Gadlat, &c. It is thought that Taratha, or Atar- 
 gatis as she was also called, is considered to have been a correlative of 
 Dao-on. Diodorus Siculus says (lib. ii.) that at Askelon the goddess 
 Derceto or Atargatis was worshipped under the figure of a woman 
 with the lower parts of a fish. (See Calmet's Dictionary of the Bible, 
 under Dagon.) Assemani, in a note at the foot of the page cited 
 above, says : " Tarata, Janus fortasse Syrorum nam Tara est Janua, 
 unde ftemininura Tarata, quod fseminse specie illud idolum colereut. 
 See the discourse of Jacob of Serug, on the Fall of the Idols, pub- 
 lished byM.l'Abbe Martin, in the Zeitschrift of the German Oriental 
 Society, note and translation, p. 131, for the year 1875. These four 
 divinities, in Whiston's Latin translation of Moses of Chorene, are 
 Naboc'us, Belus, Bathnicalus and Tharatha. ' 
 
THE DOCTRINE OF ADDAI. 25 
 
 Be ye not led away captive by the rays of the lumi- 
 naries and the bright star ; for every one who worships 
 creatures is cursed before God. For although there are 
 among creatures such as are greater than their com- 
 panions, yet they are fellow-servants of their companions, 
 as I have said to you. For this is a bitter pain, for which 
 there is not a cure, that things made should worship 
 things made, and creatures should glorify their fellows. 
 For as they are not able to stand by the power of 
 themselves, but by the power of Him who created them, 
 so they are not able to be worshipped with Him, nor to 
 be honoured with Him ; for it is a blasphemy against both 
 parties, against the creatures when they are worshipped, 
 and against the Creator, when the creatures, who are 
 strangers to the nature of His existence, are made par- 
 takers with Him. For all the prophecy of the Prophets, 
 and the preaching of us who are after the Prophets, is 
 this, that creatures should not be worshipped with the 
 Creator, and that men should not bind themselves to the 
 yoke of corrupt paganism. It is not because of the 
 creatures being seen, I say, that they should not be 
 worshipped; but everything which is made is a creature, 
 whether visible or invisible. This is a horrible wicked- 
 ness, to place the glorious name of divinity upon it. 
 For not creatures, as you, we proclaim and worship; but 
 the Lord of creatures. The earthquake, which made 
 them tremble at the Cross, testifies that everything which 
 is made depends on and exists by the power of its Maker, 
 who was before worlds and creatures, whose nature is 
 incomprehensible, in that His nature is invisible, and, 
 with His Father, is sanctified in the heights above, for 
 that He is Lord and God from eternity. This is our 
 doctrine in every country and in every region. And so 
 
 E

 have we been commanded to preach to those wJtio near ua, 
 not violently, but by the teaching of the truth and by the 
 power of God. And the miracles which were done in His 
 name, testify concerning our faith, that it is true and to be 
 believed. Ee obedient, therefore, to my words, and receive 
 that which I have said, and am saying before you ; and 
 that I may not require your death, behold, I warn you 
 to be very cautious. Receive my words fitly, and do 
 not neglect. Draw nigh to me ye my distant ones from 
 Christ, and be near to Christ. And in the place of 
 erroneous sacrifices and oblations, offer now to Him the 
 sacrifices of thanksgiving. 
 
 What is this great altar which ye have built in the 
 midst of this city ? and what are those going and coming 
 offering upon it to demons, and sacrificing on it to devils ? 
 But if ye know not the Scriptures, doth not nature itself 
 teach you, by its power of sight, that your idols have 
 eyes and see not? And ye^ who see with eyes in that 
 ye do not understand, ye are also as they who see not 
 and hear not, and in vain you excite your voices, in- 
 effective to deaf ears. For they are not to be complained 
 of for that which they do not hear, because that by nature 
 they are deaf and dumb. And the blame with which 
 justice is involved is yours, for ye do not wish to under- 
 stand, even that which ye see. For the thick dark- 
 ness of eiTor, which is spread over your mind, permits 
 you not to acquire the heavenly light, which is the un- 
 derstanding of knowledge. Flee, therefore, from things 
 made and created, as I have said unto you, that in name 
 only are they called gods, though they are not gods in 
 their nature ; and draw near to Him, who in His nature is

 God from eternity and from everlasting, and is not made 
 as your idols, and also not a creature, and a work of art as 
 the images in which ye make your boast. Because that 
 although He put on this body, He was God with His 
 Father ; for the works of creation, which trembled when 
 He was slain, and were terrified by the suffering of His 
 death, they testify that He is He who created the works 
 of creation. For it was not for a man the earth shook, but 
 for Him who established the earth upon the waters ; and 
 it was not for a man the sun became dark in the heavens, 
 but for Him who made the great lights. And it was not 
 by a man the righteous and the just were raised to life, 
 but by Him who gave power over death from the begin- 
 ning. Nor was it by a man the vail of the temple of the 
 Jews was rent from the top to the bottom, but by Him who 
 said to them, ' Behold, your house is left desolate.' ^ For, 
 behold, except they who crucified Him knew that He was 
 the Son of God, they would not have proclaimed the deso- 
 lation of their city, also they would not have brought 
 down woes upon themselves. For even if they wished to 
 neglect this confession, the terrible commotions which 
 were at that time would not have permitted them. Be- 
 hold also some of the children of the crucifiers have be- 
 come at this day preachers and evangelists, with the 
 Apostles my companions, in all the land of Palestine and 
 among the Samaritans, and in all the country of the 
 Philistines. The idols of paganism also are despised, and 
 the Cross of Christ is honoured. Peoples and creatures 
 also confess God, who became man. If truly when Jesus 
 our Lord was upon earth ye believed in Him that He is 
 the Son of God, and before that ye had heard the word of 
 
 a Matth. xxiii. 38. 
 
28 THE DOCTRINE OF ADDAI. 
 
 His preaching, confessed in Him that He is God ; now 
 that He has ascended to His Father, and ye have seen 
 the signs and wonders which are done in His name, and 
 the word of His Gospel ye have heard with your ears ; 
 not a man of you should let himself doubt in his mind 
 how the promise of His blessing which He sent to you 
 would have been established with you : " Blessed are ye 
 who have believed in me, although ye have not seen me ; 
 and because ye have so believed in me the city in which 
 ye dwell shall be blessed, and the enemy shall not prevail 
 against it for ever."* Do not, therefore, turn from His 
 faith; for, behold, ye have heard and seen those things 
 which bear witness to His faith, that He is the adorable 
 Son, and is the glorious God, and is the triumphant King, 
 and is the Omnipotent Power; and by His true faith a man 
 is able to acquire the eye of the true mind, and to perceive 
 that every one who worships creatures, the wrath of 
 justice overtakes him. 
 
 For everything which we say before you, we say as we 
 have received of the gift of our Lord, and we teach and 
 we show how to possess your life, and not destroy your 
 spirits by the error of paganism; because that the 
 heavenly light hath risen upon creation, and He it is, 
 who hath chosen the ancient fathers and the just men and 
 the Prophets, and hath spoken with them by the revelation 
 of the Holy Spirit. For He is the God of the Jews, 
 who crucified Him, and the erring Gentiles also worship 
 Him, though they know it not; because that there is no 
 
 * ITie city in which ye dwell, &c. This is a quotation from the 
 message of our Lord to Abgar. See p. 5. The passage in this message 
 seems to have given rise to the notion very prevalent and mentioned 
 by several Syriac vrriters, that Edessa would be henceforth free from 
 hostile invasion and be especially blessed and protected by God.

 other God in heaven and in earth, and behold con- 
 fession ascendeth up to Him from the four quarters of 
 the earth. Behold now your ears have heard that -which 
 was not heard by you before, and behold, again, your eyes 
 have seen that which was never seen by you before. Be ye 
 not therefore unjust to that v/hich ye have heard and 
 seen. Cause to pass from you the rebellious mind of 
 your fathers, and free yourselves from the yoke of sin, 
 which hath dominion over you by libations and sacrifices 
 before graven images. Let it be a care to you concerning 
 your perishing lives, and concerning the vain bowing of 
 your head, and acquire the new mind which worships the 
 Maker and not the thing made, in which is represented 
 the image of truth and verity, of the Father, and of the 
 Son, and of the Holy Spirit, when ye believe and are 
 baptized in the triple and glorious names. For this is 
 our doctrine and our preaching. For it is not in many 
 things that the truth of Christ is believed. And such 
 of you as are willing to be obedient to Christ, know that 
 many times I have repeated my words before you, that ye 
 might learn and understand whatsoever ye hear. And 
 we will rejoice in this, as a husbandman in his field 
 which is blessed; and our God is glorified by your 
 repentance towards Him. And as ye live in this, we also 
 who counsel you thus will not be defrauded of the blessed 
 reward of this. And because I am confident that ye 
 are a blessed land, according to the will of the Lord 
 Christ, therefore for the dust of my feet which we have 
 been commanded* to shake off against the city that 
 receiveth not our words ; behold I shake off to-day at the 
 door of your ears the words of my lips, in which the

 coming of Christ is represented, that which has been, and 
 that which is about to be, and the resurrection and re- 
 suscitation of all men, and the separation which is to be 
 between the faithful and unbelieving, and the blessed 
 promise of future joys which they who have believed in 
 Christ and worshipped His high Father, and confessed 
 Him and the Spirit of His godhead, shall receive. And 
 now it is right for us to finish our present discourse, 
 and let those who have received the word of Christ 
 remain with us, and also those who wish to be associated 
 with us in prayer, and then let them go to their homes." 
 
 And Addai the Apostle rejoiced in this when he saw 
 that the multitude of the population of the city remained 
 with him, and there were few who did not remain at that 
 time ; and these same few, after a few days, received his 
 words and believed in the gospel of the preaching of Christ. 
 
 And when Addai the Apostle had said these things 
 before all the city of Edessa, and Abgar the king saw 
 that all the city rejoiced in his doctrine, men and women 
 equally, and were saying to him " Christ, who hath sent 
 thee to us is true and faithful/' and he also greatly rejoiced 
 at this, praising God, that according to what he had heard 
 from Hannan, his tabularius, concerning Christ, so he had 
 seen the marvellous mighty works which Addai the 
 Apostle had done in the name of Christ. And Abgar 
 the king also said to Addai the Apostle, As I sent to 
 Christ by my letter to Him ; and as He also sent to me 
 and I have received from thee thyself this day ; so will 
 I believe all the days of my life, and in the same things 
 continue, exulting, because I know that there is no other 
 power in the name of whom these signs and wonders are 
 done, but by the power of Christ, whom thou preachest 
 in truth and verity. And now I will worship Him,

 I and Ma'nu,^' my son, and Augustina, and Shalmath the 
 queen. And now, wherever thou wishes t, build a church, 
 a house of assembly for those who have believed, and 
 shall believe in thy words. And, as commanded thee by 
 thy Lord, minister thou at times with confidence. And 
 those who are teachers with thee of this Gospel, I am 
 prepared to deliver to them large gifts, that they may 
 not have any other work with the ministry. Everything 
 also which is required by thee for the expenses of the 
 house, I will give thee without taking account ; thy word 
 shall be powerful and have rule in this city, and without 
 another man, have thou authority to enter into my presence 
 in my royal palace of honour. 
 
 And when Abgar the king went down to his royal 
 palace, he rejoiced, he and his princes with him, Abdu 
 and Garmai, and Shamshagram, and Abubai, and Meher- 
 dath, with the rest of their companions, at everything 
 which their eyes had seen, and their ears had heard, and in 
 the joy of their heart they also praised God, who had 
 turned their mind to Him ; they renounced the paganism 
 in which they stood, and confessed the Gospel of Christ. 
 And when Addai had built a church, they offered in it 
 vows and offerings, they and the people of the city, and 
 there they worshipped all the days of their life. 
 
 And Avida'' and Bar-kalba who were chiefs and 
 rulers, and clothed with royal headbands^, drew near 
 to Addai, and they asked Addai concerning the 
 
 * Abgar's father bore the name of Ma'nu as well as his son ; indeed 
 it is said that he had two sons of that name. This is probably the 
 one who succeeded his father as king. It was the name of many kings 
 of Edessa. See note p. 1. 
 
 ^ Avida. In Cureton's text it is K'.VO^., evidently a mistake in

 history of Christ, to tell them how that He being God 
 was seen by them as man, and how ye were able to see 
 Him. And he satisfied them all concerning this, con- 
 cerning all which their eyes had seen, and concerning all 
 which their ears had heard of Him. And everything which 
 the Prophets had said of Him, he repeated before them, 
 and they received his words gladly and faithfully, and 
 there was not a man who rose up against him. For the 
 glorious things which he did permitted not a man to rise 
 
 lip. against him. 
 
 Y Shavida and Ebednebo, chiefs of the priests of this city, 
 with Piroz^ and Dancu'' their companions, when they saw 
 the signs which he did, ran and threw down the altars upon 
 which they sacrificed before Nebo and Bel their gods, 
 except the great altar, which was in the midst of the 
 city, and they cried out and said, that this is truly the 
 disciple of the distinguished and glorious Master of 
 whom we heard all those things, which He did in the 
 country of Palestine. And all who believed in Christ, 
 Addai received, and baptized them in the name of the 
 Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And those 
 who were accustomed to worship stones and stocks, sat 
 at his feet, learning, and being corrected of the plague of 
 the foolishness of paganism. The Jews also, conversant 
 with the Law and the Prophets, who carried on mer- 
 
 no point to show whether it be a Dolath or a Resh. In Cureton's 
 text it is a Dolath, but elsewhere we find it a Resh. As to the 
 meaning of the word, see Dr. Payne Smith's note, cited by Pratten, 
 Syr. Documents, p. 22.

 chandise in silks,* were also persuaded and became 
 disciples, and made confession in Christ, that He is the 
 Son of the living God. But neither Abgar the king, nor 
 Addai the Apostle pressed any man by force to believe 
 in Christ ; because without the force of man, the force 
 of the signs compelled many to believe in Him. And 
 all this country of Mesopotamia, and all the regions round 
 about it received his doctrine with love. 
 
 But Aggai made the chains*' and headbands of the king, 
 and Palut and Abshelama" and Barsamya with the rest 
 of the others their companions, adhered to Addai the 
 Apostle, and he received them and made them par- 
 takers with him in the ministry ; they read in the Old 
 Testament*^ and the New, and the Prophets, and the 
 Acts of the Apostles, every day they meditated on them. 
 He commanded them cautiously, "Let your bodies be 
 pure, and let your persons be holy ; as is right for men 
 who stand before the altar of God ; and be ye indeed far

 Matt. xi. 8. It is probable from what is here said and referred to by 
 
 other writers, that the Jews of Edessa carried on an extensive trade 
 
 with people of other districts and countries. 
 
 ^ The word t<L»lPdJt. is by some translated chains, and by others 
 silks or muslins. The former rendering is adopted by Castle, and 
 the latter by Moses of Chorene, and although the word is translated 
 chains by Dr. Cureton in a note p. 157, he seems to think it might be 
 more correctly rendered silks. I prefer the former rendering, because 
 in Numb. xxxi. 50, and Isaiah iii. 22, the former but not the latter 
 will suit the context.

 ^ As the Prophets are mentioned by themselves, the Old Testament 
 here probably means no more than the Pentateuch. Similarly, as the 
 Acts of the Apostles are named apart from the New Testament, the 
 latter is probably intended to comprise only the Gospels.

 removed from false swearing, and from wicked murder, 
 and from false testimony, which is mixed with adultery, 
 and from sorcerers with respect to whom there are no 
 mercies, and from divinations, and soothsaying, and ne- 
 cromancers, and from fates, and nativities, in which the 
 erring Chaldees boast themselves ; and from stars, and 
 the signs of the Zodiac, in which 4;he foolish are con- 
 fident. And keep at a distance from you evil hypocrisy, 
 and bribes, and gifts, by which the pure are condemned. 
 And with this ministry to which ye have been called, let 
 there not be for you another service ; for the Lord Him- 
 self is the service of your ministry all the days of your 
 life. Be ye also diligent to deliver the sign of bap- 
 tism, and love ye not the gains of this world, but 
 hearken ye to judgment with justice and truth. And 
 be ye not a stumbling block to the blind, that the name of 
 Him who opened the eyes of the blind, as we have seen, be 
 not blasphemed through you. Let all, therefore, who see 
 you, perceive that ye perform all which ye preach and teach. 
 And they ministered with him in the church which 
 Addai had built by the word and command of Abgar the 
 king, and they were supplied from that which was the 
 king's and his nobles ; and some of them they brought 
 for the house of God, and some for the nourishment of 
 the poor. But a large multitude of people assembled day 
 by day and came to the prayer of the service, and to tJie 
 reading of the Old and New Testament, of the Diates- 
 saron,* and they believed in the revival of the dead, and 
 
 * Diatessaron. In the text of Cureton is Ditornon. The reading 
 of the MS., he remarks, is not quite clear, and he is disposed to think 
 that the word ought to be Diatessaron. The reading of the St. Peters- 
 burgh MS., as we see, confirms Dr. Cureton's supposition. The Dia- 
 tessaron was that made by Tatian, and was, as appears from sundry

 they buried their dead in the hope of the resurrection. 
 They also observed the festivals of the Church in their 
 times, and every day they were constant in the vigils of 
 the Church, and they likewise performed acts of charity 
 to the sick and those who were whole, according to 
 the instruction of Addai to them. And in places round 
 about the city churches were built, and the hand of the 
 priesthood many received from him. So also orientals 
 with the appearance of merchants passed into the 
 country of the Romans to see the signs which Addai 
 did, and those of them who became disciples, received 
 from them^ the hand of the priesthood, and in their own 
 country of the Assyrians they taught the sons of their 
 people, and houses of prayer they built there secretly, 
 because of the danger arising from the worshippers of 
 fire and the adorers of water.'' 
 
 But IS'ersai,'^ the king of the Assyrians, when he had 
 heard of these things which Addai the Apostle had done, he 
 sent to Abgar, the king; either send me the man who

 It was a volume compiled from the Four Gospels, and seems to have 
 been publicly read at Edessa up to the fourth century. Mention is 
 made of it in Asseman. Bibl. Orient, tom. iii. p. 12 : The Gospel 
 which Tatian compiled, and he called it the Diatessaron. A com- 
 mentary was written on this work by Ephraim Syrus, according to 
 what is affirmed by Barsalibe and Bar Hebrseus as recorded in Asseman. 
 Bibl. Orient, tom. I. pp. 57, 58. The former says that Ephraim 
 illustrated the Diatessaron with commentaries ; ^.nd the latter, in 
 speaking of Tatian's volume, in his work r<'\r<'l T^Of^, says that 
 the expression " In the beginning was the word " was elucidated by 
 Ephraim.

 hath done these signs with thee, that I may see him and 
 hear his discourse, or send me an account o/'all these things 
 which thou hast seen him do in thy city. And Abgar 
 wrote to Nersai and made him acquainted with the whole 
 history of the affair of Addai from the beginning to the 
 end, and he left not any thing which he did not write 
 to him. 
 
 But when Nersai heard those things which were 
 written to him, he wondered and was astonished. But 
 Abgar the king, because that he was not able to pass to 
 the country of the Romans, and to go to Palestine and 
 slay the Jews, because that they had crucified Christ, 
 wrote a letter and sent to Tiberius Caesar, writing it 
 thus : '• Abgar, the king, to our Lord Tiberius Csesar, 
 peace. Knowing that not anything is hidden from thy 
 Majesty, I write and inform thy dread and great 
 sovereignty, that the Jews, who are under thy hand, who 
 dwell in the country of Palestine, assembled themselves 
 together and crucifi.ed the Christ without any fault wortJvj 
 of death, when he was doing before them signs and 
 wonders, and showed them mighty works and signs ; so 
 
 p. 229. In the same page is a copy of the Letter which Abgar wrote 
 to Nersai, viz., " Abgar roi des Armeniens, a mon fils Narseh, salut ; 
 J'ai re^.u ta lettre et tes hommages ; j'ai decharge Beroze de ses fei-s, 
 et lui ai remis ses oflPenses, si cela te fait plaisir, donne lui le gouverne- 
 ment de Ninive. Mais quant a ce que tu m'ecris de t'envoyer ce mede- 
 cin qui fait des miracles et preche un autre Dieu superieur au feu et 
 a I'eau, afin que tu puisses le voir et I'entendre, je te dirai: Ce n'etait 
 point un medecin selon I'art des hommes, c'etait un disciple du fils 
 de Dieu, createur du feu et de I'eau, il a ete destine, envoye aux con- 
 trees de I'Armenie. Mais un de ses principaux compagnons, nomme 
 Simon, est envoye dans les contrees de la Perse. Cherche-le, et tu

 maux et vous montrera le chcmin de la vie."

 that even the dead He raised to life for them. And at the 
 time they crucified Him, the sun became darkened and the 
 earth shook, and all creatures trembled, and as if of them- 
 selves, at this deed all creation quailed, and its inhabitants. 
 And now thy majesty knows what is right to command 
 against the people of the Jews, who did these things." 
 
 And Tiberius Caesar wrote and sent to Abgar the 
 king, and thus he wrote to him: "The letter of thy 
 fidelity to me, I have received, and it was read before 
 me. With respect to that which the Jews have done 
 with the cross, Pilate the governor hath also written, 
 and informed Olbinus,* my pro-consul, of these things 
 which thou hast written to me. But because of the war 
 of the Spaniards who have rebelled against me is going 
 on at this time, therefore I have not been able- to avenge 
 this matter ; but I am prepared, when I have quietness, 
 to make a charge legally against the Jews, who have not 
 acted legally. And because of this, as to Pilate, who was 
 made by me governor there, I have sent another in his 
 place, and I have dismissed him with disgrace, because that 
 he departed from the law^ and did the will of the Jews, and 
 he crucified Christ for the gratification of the Jews, who 
 according to that which I hear of them, instead of the 
 cross of death, it was fitting that He should be honoured, 
 and it was right He should be worshipped by them, 
 especially as they saw with their eyes all which He did. 
 But thou, according to thy fidelity to me and thy true 
 
 ' Olhinus. It is the opinion of Cureton that this name has been 
 confounded with that of Albinus, who was made governor of Judaea 
 by Nero, A.D. 62. No person of the name of Olbinus was governor 
 of Judaea at the time mentioned in the document, and the opinion re- 
 ferred to is most probably correct, and the mistake arose from some 
 confusion of the editor.

 compact and that of thy fathers, hast done well to write 
 to me thus." 
 
 And Abgar the king, received Aristides,* who was 
 sent to him by Tiberius Caesar, and he replied, sent him 
 back with honourable gifts, which were suitable for him, 
 who had sent him to him. And he departed from 
 Edessa, and went to Ticnutha,** where was Claudius the 
 second, from the king, and from there also he went to 
 Artica,*' where was Tiberius Caesar. But Gains guarded 
 the regions, which were round about the Emperor. And 
 Aristides himself also recounted before Tiberius the 
 mighty works which Addai did before Abgar the king. 
 And when he had rest from the war, he sent, slew some 
 of the chiefs of the Jews, who were in Palestine. And 
 when Abgar the king heard, he greatly rejoiced at 
 this, that the Jews had received punishment, as it was 
 right. 
 
 And some years after Addai the Apostle had built 
 the church in Edessa, and furnished it with every- 
 thing which was suitable for it, and had taught many of 
 the population of the city, also in the other villages, 
 both those which were distant, and those which were 
 near, he built churches, and completed and ornamented 
 them^ and appointed in them deacons and elders, and 
 
 a Aristides. In the Armenian version, this name is vsrritten Arti- 
 dias, which in the French translation is corrected according io the 
 reading in the Syriac text.

 ' Artica. This word may, by placing different vowels to it, be 
 pronounced Ortyka, which Cureton thinks was intended for Ortygia, 
 near to Syracuse, not far distant from Capreae, where Tiberius resided.

 taught in them those who should read the Scriptures, and 
 the orders of the ministry within and without he taught. 
 After all these things he became ill with the disease, by 
 which he departed from this world/ And he called Aggai 
 before all the congregation of the church, and he brought 
 him near, and made him governor and ruler in his place. 
 And concerning Palut, who was a deacon, he made him 
 an elder, and of Abshelama, who was a scribe, he made 
 him a deacon. And when the nobles and chiefs were 
 assembled and stood by him, Bar-kalba and^ Ear-Zati, 
 and Marihab, the son of Barshemesh, and Sennac, son of 
 Avida, and Peroz, son of Patricius, with the rest of their 
 companions, Addai the Apostle said to them : " Ye 
 know, and ye testify, all of you who hear me, that every- 
 thing which I have preached to you and taught you, 
 anH ye have heard from me, so have I conducted myself 
 among you, and ye have seen also in works, because 
 that thus our Lord commanded us that whatsoever we 
 preach in words before the people, we in work should 
 do before every man. And according to the ordinances 
 and laws which were appointed in Jerusalem, and by 
 which also the Apostles, my companions, were governed, 
 
 * A great difference is found here between the Syriac text and the 
 Armenian version. According to the former, Addai had gathered 
 around him the nobles and chiefs, in order that he might deliver 
 tmto them his farewell and dying discourse, but in the latter it is said 
 that " the Apostle Addai conceived the thought of visiting the coun- 
 tries of the East and Assyria to preach there," &c. One statement 
 must be erroneous, and authority obliges us to conclude that the error 
 is in the Armenian version. 
 
 ** And. We have a vau in our MS. which is not in Cureton's text, 
 nor is it supported by the Armenian version ; we think, therefore, 
 that the reading should be, not Bar-Kalha and Bar-Zati, but Bar 
 Kalha, son of Zati.

 SO also ye, do not turn aside from them, and do not take 
 away anything from them, as I myself also have been 
 guided by them among you, and have not turned aside 
 from them to the right hand, or to the left, that I might 
 not become strange to the promised salvation, which is 
 reserved for those who are guided by them . Take heed, 
 therefore, to this ministry which ye hold, and with fear 
 and trembling abide ye in it, and minister every day. 
 Minister not in it with habits bringing contempt, but 
 with the prudence of faith; and the praises of Christ, let 
 them not cease from your mouth, and let not weariness in 
 prayer at the stated times draw near to you. Take heed 
 to the truth, which ye hold, and to the teaching of the 
 truth, which ye have received, and to the inheritance of 
 salvation, which I commend to you, because before the 
 judgment-seat of Christ you will be sought out by Him, 
 when He taketh account with the pastors and superiors, 
 and when He taketh His money from merchants with 
 the increase of gains. For He is the king's son, and 
 goes to receive a kingdom, and to return, and to come 
 and make a resurrection for all men ; and then He sitteth 
 on the throne of righteousness, and judgeth the dead and 
 the living, as He hath said to us. Let not the secret eye 
 of your mind from the height above be closed, that your 
 offences may not multiply in the way in which there are 
 no offences ; nor abominable error in its ways. Seek 
 ye those that are lost, and visit those that err, and rejoice 
 ye in those that are found. Bind up those that are 
 bruised, and be ye watchful of the fatlings, because at 
 your hands will the sheep of Christ be required. Look 
 ye not to passing honour, for the shepherd that looketh 
 to be honoured by his flock, badly, badly with respect to 
 him does his flock stand. Let your solicitude for the 
 
THE DOCTRINE OF ADDAI. 4l 
 
 young lambs be great, for their angels^ behold the face 
 of the invisible Father, and be ye not a stone of stumbling 
 before the blind, but clearers'' of the way and the path in 
 a difficult country, among the Jews, the crucifiers, and 
 the erring heathen; for with these two parties only is 
 there war for you, in order to show the truth of the 
 faith, which ye hold; also when ye are quiet, your modest 
 and honourable appearance will be fighting for you with 
 those who hate truth and love falsehood. Be ye not 
 smiters of the poor before the rich, for the severe inflic- 
 tion of their poverty is sufficient for them. Be ye not 
 beguiled with the hateful cogitations of Satan, that ye 
 be not stripped naked of the faith that ye have put on," 
 for unbelief is easier than faith, as sin is easier than 
 righteousness. Take heed, therefore, of those that cruci- 
 fied, that ye be not friends to them, that ye be not re- 
 sponsible with them whose hands are full of the blood of 
 Christ ; and ye know, and ye bear witness, that every- 
 thing which we say and teach of the history of Christ, 
 is written in the Book of the Prophets, and deposited with 
 them. And their words bear witness to our teaching 
 concerning the judgment, and suffering, and resurrection, 
 and ascension of Christ ; but they know not, that when 
 they rise against us they rise against the words of the 
 Prophets, and as in their lives they persecuted the Pro- 
 phets, so also now, since their death, they persecute the 
 truth, which is written in the Prophets. Again, take 
 ye heed of the heathen, who worship the sun and the 
 moon, and Bel and Nebo, and the rest of those which 
 they call gods, though they are not gods in their nature.

 Flee ye, therefore, from them, because that they worship 
 creatures and things made. And as reported to you 
 before, the whole object* for which our Lord came into 
 the world was that creatures might not again be wor- 
 shipped and honoured, because they exist by the nod of 
 their Creator ; and when He wishes. He dissolves and 
 makes them cease, and they are as though they are not. 
 For the will of Him, who created the creatures, freed 
 men from the yoke of the paganism of the creatures. For 
 ye know that OA^ery one who worships the servants of a 
 king with the king, the death of the sword findeth him in 
 his worship. Be ye not searching for secret things, and 
 inquiring after hidden things, which are written in the 
 holy books that ye possess. Be ye not judges concern- 
 ing the words of the Prophets. Remember and consider 
 that by the Spirit of God they are said ; and he who 
 accuses the Prophets, accuses and judges the Spirit of 
 God. May this be far from you ! Because the ways 
 of the Lord are straight, and the righteous walk in them 
 without stumbling ; but the infidels stumble in them ; 
 because that they have not the secret eye of the secret 
 mind, which has no need of questions in which there is 
 no profit, but loss.*" Remember the menacing judgment 
 of the Prophets, and the word of our Lord, which 
 defines their words, that the Lord judgeth by fire, 
 and all men are tried by it. Wherefore, as wayfarers 
 
 In p. 22, we find that that for which our Lord came into the world 
 was altogether to teach the resurrection of man. Here it is stated, 
 that the whole object for which our Lord came into the world was 
 that creatures might not again be worshipped. The author is speaking 
 superlatively. In these days we should in each case say a great 
 object, &c.

 and sojourners, who tarry for a night and return early to 
 their homes, so may you yourselves consider concerning 
 this world, that from here ye go forth to the places where 
 the Son went to prepare for every one worthy of thera. 
 As to kings of countries, their armies go forth before them, 
 and prepare for them a dwelling-house for their honour ; 
 but this King of ours, behold, He is gone to prepare for 
 His worshippers blessed mansions* in which they may 
 dwell. For it was not in vain God created the children 
 of men ; but that they might worship and glorify ECim 
 here and there for ever. As He passeth not away, so 
 those glorifying Him cease not. Wherefore my death 
 also, with the disease of which I am bound and lie ; as 
 a sleep of the night, let it be esteemed in your eyes. 
 And remember that with the suffering of the Son, Death, 
 which snatches away the children of men, passed 
 away and ceased ; and Satan, who causes many to sin 
 and makes war with the true, that they may be with- 
 out truth. And as a husbandman who puts his hand to 
 the ploughshare, if he looks behind,'' the furrows before 
 him cannot be straight ; so also ye who have been called 
 to this gift of the ministry, be ye cautious, that ye do not 
 trouble yourselves with the things of this world, lest by 
 chance ye be impeded as to that to which ye have been 
 called. 
 
 As to princes and judges, who have embraced this 
 faith, be ye loving them, although do not simulate in 
 any thing, and if they sin, ye reprove them with justice. 
 Ye shall show them openly your rectitude, tliat they may 
 be cori'ected so as not again to conduct themselves after 
 their own will. This solicitude ye shall have all the days

 of your life, that all of you may run after honest things, as 
 ye also counsel others with respect to them ; for in these 
 things men find their life before God. 
 
 But the Law," and the Prophets, and the Gospel, which 
 ye read every day before the people, and the Epistles of 
 Paul, which Simon Peter sent us from the city of Home, 
 and the Acts of the twelve Apostles, which John, the 
 son of Zebedee, sent us from Ephesus ; these Books 
 read ye in the churches of Christ, and with these read 
 not any others, as there is not any other in which the 
 truth that ye hold is written, except these books, 
 which retain you in the faith to which ye have been 
 called. And our lord Abgar the king, and his honoured 
 nobles, who have heard that which I have spoken before 
 you to day are sufficient to be for me witnesses after 
 my death, that I have diligently preached the doctrine 
 of our Lord before every man, and that I have not 
 acquired anything with His word in the world. For His 
 word by which I have become rich was sufficient for me, 
 and I have made by it many rich ; for it lifts me up in 
 this way in which I go forth before Christ, who has sent 
 after me, that I should go by it to Him. For ye know 
 that which, I have said to you, "That all the souls of 
 men, which depart from this body, die not ; but they live 
 and rise, and have mansions, and a dwelling-place of rest, 
 
 * We have already had mention of the Old Testament ; and the 
 New of the Diatessaron, p. 34. Here we have the Holy Scriptures 
 more particularly specified. The New Testament is described as 
 consisting of the Gospel, the Epistles of Paul and the Acts of the 
 Apostles. The two latter were probably not written at the time that 
 Addai was preaching Christianity in Edessa. If the Gospel mentioned 
 be that of St. Matthew, that might possibly have been then ia 
 existence. 
 
THE DOCTRINE OF ADDAI. 46 
 
 for the understanding and the intelligence of the soul do 
 not cease, because the image of God is represented in it, 
 which dieth not. For it is not as the body without feel- 
 ing which perceives not the odious corruption which has 
 come upon it.- Eeward and recompense it is not able 
 to receive without it {the body) ; because that labour 
 was not its only, but also of the body in which it dwelt. 
 But the rebellious who know not God, they become peni- 
 tent then to no purpose. Ye, indeed, who are of Christ, 
 whose glorious name is placed upon you, and ruleth, He 
 will direct you in the way, of truth, in which ye shall go 
 and shall arrive at and attain to that which is promised 
 and kept for those who depart not from Him ; but abide 
 according to what they were called to by our Lord. 
 
 And when Addai the Apostle had said this word,,he ceased 
 and was silent. And Aggai, maker of the king's chains, 
 and Palut, and Abshelama, with the rest of their com- 
 panions, answered and said to Addai the Apostle, " Christ 
 Himself has testified that He sent thee to us, and thou 
 hast taught us the true faith, and hast made us possess 
 the true life. As we have heard from thee and received, 
 all this time thou hast been with us, so we abide all the 
 days of our life. And from the worship of things made and 
 created, which our fathers worshipped, we flee, and with* 
 the Jews, the crucifiers we will not mix ourselves ; 
 and this inheritance, which we have received from thee, 
 we do not let go, but with it we will depart from this 
 world. And in the day of our Lord, before the judg- 
 ment-seat of righteousness, there will He return to us 
 this inheritance as that thou hast said to us. 
 
 And when these things had been said, Abgar the king,

 arose, he and his princes, and all the nobles of his king- 
 dom, and he went to his own palace, when all of them 
 grieved over him, for he Avas dying. And he sent to him 
 honourable and costly garments, in which he should be 
 buried ; and when Addai saw them, he sent word to him, 
 that not in my life have I taken from thee anything, and I 
 will not falsify in me the word of Christ, which He said 
 to me, " Receive not anything from man, and acquire 
 not anything in this world." ^ And after three other 
 days, that these things were said by Addai the Apostle, 
 and he had heard and received the testimony of the 
 doctrine of his preaching from the sons of his ministry, 
 before all the nobles, he departed from this world, and it 
 was the fifth day of the week, in the fourteenth of the 
 month Eyor.^ And the whole city was in great sorrow 
 and bitter pain; not only Christians sorrowed for Him, 
 but also Jews and Pagans, who were in this city. But 
 king Abgar more than any man sorrowed for him, he and 
 the princes of his kingdom. And in the grief of his 
 
 * These words are not according to the letter, but are certainly in 
 the spirit of the instructions, which our Lord delivered to the twelve 
 disciples at their ordination, as we read them in Matt. x. 7 — 10. 
 Anj-thing like desire or anxiety for the things of this world, the dis- 
 ciples of Christ were frequently and in distinct and impressive language 
 warned against by their Master. 
 
 ^ Eyor is the Syriac word for the month of May. In Assemani, 
 Bibl, Orient, torn. ii. p. 392, we find it stated, on the authority of Bar 
 Hebrreus, " that Addai the Apostle was slain on the 30th of July, 
 and buried in the church, which he himself had built in Edessa." 
 This date, however, is contradicted in a foot-note on the same page, in 
 the following terms : — " Amrus Matthaii filius historicus JSTestorianus, 
 qui Chronicon Maris ejusdem sectse scriptoris in compendium redegit, 
 Addteum obiise refert, non die 30 Julii, sed 14 Maii. Et quidem in 
 pervetusto Kalendario Syriaco, (]UGd ad calcem Codicis 32 in fine 
 huju? tomi subjicitur, die IVFaii 14, Adda}us decessisse dicitur."

 mind he despised and forsook the honour of his kingdom 
 on that day ; and with mournful tears he wept over him 
 with every man. And all the people of the city, who 
 saw him, wondered at how much he suffered because of 
 him. And with great and excellent honour he carried 
 and buried him, as one of the princes, when he dies, 
 and he placed him in a great sepulchre of ornamental 
 sculpture, in which those of the house of Aryu, the 
 ancestors of the father of king Abgar, were placed. There 
 he placed him carefully with grief and great sorrow. 
 And all the people of the chiu-ch went from time to time, 
 and prayed there diligently, and the commemoration of 
 his death they made from year to year, according to 
 the command and instruction which was received by 
 them from Addai the Apostle, and according to the 
 word of Aggai, who was himself the guide and ruler 
 and the successor of his chair after him, by the hand 
 . of the priesthood, which he had received from him before 
 every man. 
 
 And he also by the hand from which he received made 
 priests and guides in all this country of Mesopotamia. 
 For they also, as of Addai the Apostle, thus took his 
 word and heard and received, as a good and faithful 
 heir of the Apostle of the adorable Christ. But silver 
 and gold he took not from man, and the gifts of the 
 princes approached him not. For instead of gold and 
 silver he enriched the Church of Christ with the souls of 
 the faithful. But all the chiefs^ of men and women 
 
 ' Chiefs. This is the rendering in the Armenian version, and it 
 seems to me that it is a sense in accordance with the Syriac text. The 
 Sjriac noun, among other meanings, signifies a prefect or chief. 
 Every chief is the same as all the chiefs, and so the noun may agree

 were modest and decorous, and they were holy and pure, 
 and they dwelt singly and modestly without spot, in 
 watchfulness of the ministry decorously, in their care- 
 fulness for the poor, in their visitations to the sick ; for 
 their goings forth were full of praise from those who saw, 
 and their conversation was covered with glory from 
 strangers ; so that even the priests of the temple of 
 Nebo and Bel divided with them the honour at all times, by 
 their honourable aspect, by their truthful discourse, by 
 the confidence which they possessed, and by their freedom, 
 which was not enslaved to greediness, and was not in 
 bondage under blame. For every one who saw them 
 ran to meet them, that he might honourably salute 
 them ; because even the sight of them spread peace 
 over the beholders. For their words of peace were 
 spread like nets over the rebellious, when they were enter- 
 ing the fold of truth and verity. For there was no 
 man who saw them, and was ashamed of them ; be- 
 cause they did not anything which was not just, and 
 which was not becoming, and in consequence of this 
 their countenances were open in the preaching of their 
 doctrine to every man. For whatsoever they said to others 
 and directed them, they exhibited the same by works in 
 themselves ; and as to the hearers, who saw that their 
 works were with their words, many became their dis- 
 ciples without persuasion, and confessed Christ the king, 
 praising God who had turned them to Him.

 his rebellious sons,* who was not obedient to the truth, 
 arose and sent word to Aggai, when he was sitting in the 
 Church : " Make me headbands of gold, according to that 
 which thou didst make for my fathers of old." Aggai sent 
 him word : " I desert not the ministry of Christ, which 
 has been committed to me by the disciple of Christ, and 
 make headbands of wickedness."^ And when he saw 
 that he did not obey him, he sent, and broke his legs, 
 as he was sitting in the church and expounding. And 
 as he was dying he made Palut and Abshelama swear 
 that in this house, for the sake of whose name, behold, 
 I die, place me and bury me. And as he made them 
 swear, so they placed him within the middle door of 
 the church, between the men and the women. And 
 there was great and bitter sorrow in all the church, and 
 in all the city, above the pain of sorrow, wliich had been 
 
 * It appears that this rebellious son did not reign till yeai^ after 
 the death of Abgar. There must consequently have been another, 
 who was the immediate successor of Abgar ; and the name of this suc- 
 cessor was Ma'nu, who is said to have reigned seven years, according 
 to what is stated by Assemani, Bibl. Orient, torn. i. p. 421. The 
 successor of Ma'nu was his brother, also by name Ma'nu, and he reigned 
 fourteen years. Moses of Chorene, liv. II. ch. xxxiv., says of this 
 prince ; " II ouvrit les temples des idoles, embrassa le culte des paiens. 
 H envoie dire a Attee, ' Fais moi une coiffure en toile tissee d'or, 
 comme celles que tu faisais autrefois pour mon pere.' II regut cette 
 reponse d' Attee : ' Mes mains ne feront point de coiffure pour un prince 
 indigne, qui n' adore pas le Christ Dieu vivant.' Aussitot, le roi 
 d'ordonner a un de ses gens d'armes de couper les pieds a Attee. Le 
 soldat etant alle et ayant vu le saint personnage assis dans la chaire 
 doctorale, avec son glaive lui coupa les jambes, et aussitSt le saint 
 rendit I'esprit." 
 
 ^ Wickedness. In Cureton's text the word is in the singular

60 THE DOCTEINE OF ADDAI. 
 
 in its interior, as the sorrow, which had been when 
 Addai the Apostle died. 
 
 And because that by the breaking of his legs he died 
 suddenly and quickly, he was not able to place the hand 
 upon Palut.* Palut himself went to Antioch, and re- 
 ceived the hand of the priesthood from Serapion, Bishop 
 of Antioch. Serapion, Bishop of Antioch, himself also 
 received the hand from Zephyrinus, Bishop of the city of 
 Rome,'' from the succession of the hand of the priesthood 
 of Simon Cephas, which he received from our Lord, who 
 was there Bishop of Rome twenty-five years, in the days 
 of the Caesar, who reigned there thirteen years. 
 
 And as is the custom in the kingdom of Abgar the 
 king, and in all kingdoms, that everything which the 
 king commands, and everything that is said before him 
 is written down and placed among the records, so also 
 Labubna, the son of Sennac, the son of Abshadar, the 
 king's scribe, wrote these things of Addai the Apostle, 
 from the beginning to the end. Hannan also, the Tabu- 
 larius^ the king's Sharrir, set the hand of witness, and 
 placed it among the records of the writings of the kings, 
 where are put the commands and laws, and the contracts 
 of those who buy and sell are kept there with care, with- 
 out any negligence. 
 
 ' In p. 39, it is said that Addai made Palut an Elder. It would 
 seem, therefore, that this whole paragraph, as Cureton observes, must 
 have been introduced into the text at a later period, and that too by 
 some careless, ignorant person. 
 
 •» In Cureton's text the word is Rome, which is right. The name 
 found in bur MS. is obviously a mistake. 
 
 THE END OF THE DOCTBINE OF ADDAI THE APOSTLE. 
 
APPENDIX. 
 
 The following six words, which appear in the first 
 page of the Syriac text^ are placed within brackets. 
 They were written by a comparatively modem hand. 
 The original text had evidently been damaged by 
 moisture. The words are rducL.i; ^..i-so.i; A^oALsaa.i;
