This Syriac manuscript was copied in Alqūsh, Iraq, in 1925. The scribe gives the date as year 2236 of the Greeks (Seleucid Era), year 1925 from the ascension (!) of Our Lord, year 76 of my life, and year 7 since the English conquered these lands of ours

Jesus told me dragons keep eating his monks so I asked how many monks he has and he said he just goes to the desert and gets a new monk afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding monks to dragons and then Jesus wept.
