Talk:David, Bishop of the Kurds

Word
Hey, thanks for creating yet another important article! I have a question about this sentence: Is the word "Kurdistan" specifically inferred by the sources? As far as I know, per the academic consensus, the word "Kurdistan" is first attested in 11th-century Seljuk sources. - LouisAragon (talk) 16:54, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * "Originally a monk of Beth Abe, he later became the bishop of the Kurdish tribes in the region of Kartaw (Kurdistan) in Upper Mesopotamia."


 * I believe the term Beth Kartwaye was used. Whether that can be taken to "infer" Kurdistan I cannot say. Fiey translates it, reasonably enough, as "pays des Kurdes" and later uses "Kurdistan". I originally had the Syriac apesqopā d-Kartwāyē in the article, but removed it and added "Kurdistan". In light of your comment and the possible confusion, I have restored the Syriac and qualified "Kurdistan"—in the footnotes. What do you think? Srnec (talk) 01:29, 5 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Excellent adjustment IMO. - LouisAragon (talk) 11:01, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
