The Harklean version, designated by syrh, is a Syriac language bible translation by Thomas of Harqel completed in 616 AD at the Enaton in Egypt.[1][2][3] The Harklean version has close affinities with the Byzantine text-type.[4]
The version is partly based on the earlier Philoxenian version, partly a new and very literal translation from the Greek New Testament.[5]
