Summary:

"The Law Code of Simeon of Rev-Ardashir, originally written in Persian, was translated into Syriac by a monk of Bēṭ-Qatrāyē. The Code's author, possibly to be identified with the early 7th century Metropolitan mentioned in the letters of Patriarch Īšoʻ-yahb III, aims to clarify the origins of the Christian legal sysem, and to address family matters, including inheritance and the role of slave." -- Publisher, page four of cover.
