Description
-
"Syria was derived from Suros, either during his lifetime or after his death. This Suros had killed his brother and ruled over Mesopotamia. His whole kingdom was called Syria. The Syriacs were formerly called Arameans, but when Suros ruled over them, from then on they were called Syriacs."
Here, Bar Salibi makes the connection between modern Syriacs being descendants of the ancient Arameans, emphasizing the connection between 'Suryoye Oromoye.'
