Period of Activity
He was a Syriac Church Father and author of a series of 23 treatises which cover most of the theological reflections of the Persian Christians of the time. His theology is based exclusively on the Bible and is free from Greek influence, but absorbed elements of the Jewish exegetical tradition. His work was translated into Armenian, Georgian and Arabic. In Ethiopian tradition, neither the name Aphrahat nor the title of his work are known. However, at least two of his treatises are known in Gǝʿǝz: Dǝrsān za-ʾabbā Yāʿqob ṗāṗṗās za-hagara Nǝṣǝbin za-kama maṣʾa nǝguśa Fārs ba-mawāʿǝlihu wǝst hagara Nǝṣǝbin and Nagar baʾǝnta ʾǝlla yǝkǝḥǝdu tǝnśāʾe mǝwwǝtān.
