Syrohexapla
The Syrohexapla is the Syriac translation of the Greek text of the Old Testament after Origen's review in his Hexapla (5th column).
According to the colophones , the Syrohexapla can be traced back to the work of the Syrian Orthodox Bishop Paul von Tella and his colleagues in 615/617. It is a faithful translation of the Greek Bible text of the books of prophets and hagiographs in the fifth column of the Hexapla des Origen ("Quinta") and even contains a large part of his text-critical symbols to mark the differences compared to the Hebrew Bible text he used, which is in most of the manuscripts of the Greek hexaplatext are missing. It is therefore of great importance for the reconstruction of the Septuagint text before Origen's Hexapla and the differentiation between the various other reviews.
Although the Syrohexapla was a work of the West Syrian Church, it also enjoyed great esteem among the supporters of the Assyrian Church of the East .
