croce oro pequena

The Monastery of the revered martyred Roman soldiers Sergius and Bacchus, lies North of the Syriac village of Hah (the episcopal see of the Ṭūr ‘Abdīn since an early date up to 613 CE and again from the eleventh to the thirteenth century), currently known with the Turkish name of Anıtl. Its most ancient dated masonry is dated either to 691 or 789 CE (Palmer, Andrew. ‘Corpus of Syriac Inscriptions from Tur Abdin’.
