This work by the Antiochene philosopher, Theodoret, chronicles some of the salient figures in the 4th century Syriac church. Its original version recounts the lives of thirty different saints in the region who is largely familiar to his audience. However, the text that survives appears to be fragmentary and about half of the hagiographies are missing.
