Talk:Elijah of Nisibis

Name
There's a legacy of reference to this author as (Latinate) Elias but the clear trend is a move towards the original Eliya or English Elijah. Since the latter is presently more common in English and has Oxford backing, I went with that. — Llywelyn II   09:14, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

The Syriac and Arabic script forms of his name are available at his Syriac Biographical Dictionary entry but, since Google Translate can't do anything with them, I can't add them myself since it's unclear which name is being referenced in script. — Llywelyn II   09:17, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
