The Syriac Orthodox in North America (1895–1995): A Short History

The Law Code of Simeon of Rev-Ardashir, originally written in Persian, was translated into Syriac by a monk of B?t-Qa?r?y?. The Code's author, possibly the early 7th century Metropolitan mentioned in the letters of Patriarch ?šo?-yahb III, aims to clarify the origins of the Christian legal system, and to address family matters, including inheritance and the role of slaves.
