Thomas of Harqel

Thomas of Harqel was an early 7th century miaphysite bishop. Educated in Greek at the monastery of Qenneshre, he became bishop of Mabbug in Syria. Along with Paul of Tella, he lived in the Coptic monastery of the Enaton near Alexandria, Egypt as exiles. At the request of Athanasios I, they worked on a Syriac language translation of the Greek Bible. Translation of the New Testament, known as the Harclensis was completed in 616. At this time, 2 Peter, 2 John, 3 John, Jude and Revelation were added to the Syriac Bible. Until then they were excluded.
