Imprisonment by Arabs
I think this translation of Bar Hebreaeus is wrong. Several other sources claim that it was his predecessor Ishoyahb III who was imprisoned, (see also Christian-Muslim Relations: A Bibliographical History. Vol. 1 (600-900) p. 133, Seeing Islam as Others Saw It p.182).--Rafytalk 16:35, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that, Rafy. I'll do some further research on Giwargis. Bar Hebraeus probably derived his account from Mari, so that will be a good place to start.
