Abstract
The publication focuses on the metrical memra of East Syriac author Yōḥannān bar Penkāyē, preserved in the only surviving source — the manuscript Brit. Lib. or. 9385. The preface analyzes the structure and poetic form of the work, identifies a number of non-trivial personalities. Complete Russian translation of the memra is accompanied by Syriac text that reproduces the original vocalization and accentuation.
