"We call 'Syriacs,' in a special way, those living in the land West of the Euphrates River, from the Mount Amanon in the north of Antioch until the boundaries of Palestine, and from the Red Sea until the Euphrates.
And in a figurative way, we call 'Syriacs' those who speak this Aramaic language from the West and East side of the Euphrates (that is to say from the Mediterranean Sea until the land of Persia).
We said this, in order to show in a special way, that the 'Syriacs' are those living in the West. And the inhabitants of the Island that is to say those living between the land of the Two Rivers are inhabtiants of the land situated on the East side of the Euphrates: and that Urhoy is the country of the Syriac-Aramaic language and its foundation." - Language
