Wiistenfeld has translated the A rabic text of the synaxary of the Coptic church 2). In 1897 Erman edited some Coptic fragments of the legend together with the A rabic text of Wiistenfeld stranslation 3). The Coptic text is a poetic version, which seems to have been destined for public recitation. Sachau has given a summary of our Ms. Bin his catalogue of the Syriac Mss. at Berlin 4).
