"...incorrect accusations that Isaac was a Nestorian..."[edit]
The question of Isaac's ecclesiastical affiliation and Christological outlook is a little more complicated than this part of the article currently suggests. When I get a moment, I'll rewrite it a bit with reference to a broader range of sources and a clearer explanation of the issues at stake. 131.111.5.134 (talk) 11:38, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Beth Huzaye is not Arabia[edit]
Thank you to the creator of and contributors to this article. It is a pertinent contribution on Wikipedia to an important figure in Syriac/Assyrian Christian Studies.
Paragraph 1 sentence 2 reads as of May 27th, 2024: "The homilies were originally written in Syriac in the region of modern-day Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, where Isaac lived an eremitic life on Mount Matout in the Beth Huzaye region."
Beth Huzaye is roughly Khuzistan Province, Iran, which is located east of Kuwait. I recommend using the sources and citations in en.wikipedia.org/Isaac_the_Syrian to rewrite this sentence with appropriate citations to the effect that Isaac is from Beth Qatraye, which is eastern Arabia from Kuwait to Oman, but is said to have spent the last years of his life at the Rabban Shabur Monastery near Shushtar, located in Beth Huzaye/Khuzistan, Iran. It is assumed that Isaac composed at least some of his works in that monastery.
