Dionoysius Bar Salibi the Syrian-Orthodox bishop of Amid ([[Diyarbekir]], [[Turkey]], †1171), also called the star from the 12th century, says in his book ‘Against the Armenians": "'''''The Armenians say: "From whom do you descend - you who are Syriacs by race?" Against them we will say: Neither do you know from whom you descend....It is we (Syrians) who have enlightened your authors and revealed to them that you are descending from Togarma....As to us Syrians, we descend racially from Shem, and our father is Kemuel (the) son of Aram, and from this name of Aram we are also called sometimes in the books by the name of "Aramaeans'''''".</ref><ref>The Syrian-Orthodox Patriarch Mor Michael the Great of Militene ([[Malatya]], [[Turkey]], † 1199 AD) writes: "'''''The Children of [[Shem]] are the [[Assyrians]], the [[Chaldeans]], the Ludians and the [[Arameans]] who are the Syrians, the [[Hebrew]] and the [[Persians]]'''''.". The same author says about the Mesopotamian history” The kingdoms which have been established in antiquity by our race, (that of) the [[Aramaeans]], namely the descendants of [[Aram]], who were called Syrians”. </ref><ref>The Greek writer [[Posidonius]] (150 BC) says in his work.. "''The people that we (The Greeks) call Syrians, are called by themselves Arameans..........Because the people in Syra are the Arameans''"</ref>. |
