The Syriac version of the life of St. Gregory Thaumaturgus (The old Georgian translation)

The Georgian translation (preserved only in one manuscript – A90, XIII c.) differs in some way from the Syriac.
The Georgian text is a little bit extensive, it contains an additional last paragraph, which is not presented in
Syriac, and it has a different title.
There are also some important controversies in these texts. According to the Syriac version, Gregory
Thaumaturgus was ordinated by Gregory of Nazianzus. Georgian translation instead mentions Fedimos the
Patriarch of Constantinople. But according to Gregory on Nyssa, Fedimos was the bishop of Amasya.
The Georgian text is not complete, chapters X-XIII are omitted.
