<p xml:lang="en"/>
<p>In the year <date when="0513-01-01">513</date>, in the reign of
<persName>Severus</persName>, and in the reign of <persName>Abgar</persName> the
king, son of <persName>Maano</persName>the king, in the month Tishrin the latter (<hi
rend="italic">i. e.</hi>, November), the fountain of water which proceeds from the
great palace of <persName>Abgar the great king</persName> increased, and it prevailed, and it went up
according to its former manner, and overflowed and ran out on all sides, so that the
courts and the porches and the royal houses began to be filled with water. And when
our lord <persName>Abgar</persName>the king saw it, he went up to the level ground on
the hill above his palace, where dwell and reside those who do the work for the
government. And while the wise men considered what to do to the waters which had so
greatly increased, it happened that there was a great and violent rain in the night,
and the <placeName ref="http://syriaca.org/place/191">Daisan (river)</placeName> came, neither in its day, nor in its month. And strange waters
came; and they encountered the <hi rend="italic">cataracts</hi> (? flood gates) which
were fastened with great pieces of iron which were overlaid upon them, and with bars
of iron which supported them. But not prevailing against them, the waters rose like a
great sea beyond the walls of the city. And the waters began to come down from the
apertures of the wall into the city. And <persName>Abgar the king</persName> stood on the great tower
which was called that of the Persians, and saw the water by the light of torches, and
he commanded, and they took away the gates and the eight <hi rend="italic">cataracts
</hi>(? flood-gates) of the western wall of the city where the river flowed out. But
that very hour the waters broke down the western wall of the city, and entered the
city, and overthrew the great and beautiful palace of our lord the king, and they
carried away everything that was found before them, the desirable and beautiful
edifices of the city, whatever was near the river on the south and on the north of
it. And they destroyed the temple of the church of the Christians. And there were
killed by that occurrence more than two thousand men, upon many of whom as they slept
in the night the waters came suddenly, and they were drowned, and the city was filled
with the sound of lamentation.</p>
<p>And when <persName>Abgar</persName> the king saw this destruction which had befallen,
he commanded that all the craftsmen of the city should remove their cottages (or
huts) from near the river, and that no man should build near the river any cottage.
And by the wisdom of measurers and men of skill the cottages were placed so that the
breadth of the river might be increased, and they added to its former measure. For if
the waters were many and strong, the width of the river was too small to receive the
water of twenty-five brooks with what they gathered from all sides. And
<persName>Abgar</persName> the king commanded that all who lived in the porch, and
were occupied over against the river, from Tishrin the former to Nisan (October to
April), should not lodge in their cottages, except the islanders (Gazireans) who kept
the city, five of whom should lodge on the wall above the place where the waters
entered the city all the time of winter, and when they perceived by night and heard
the sound of strange waters, which began to enter the city, and whoever heard the
sound and neglected it, and did not publish it, behold the waters should drown the
contempt of him that despised the command of the king. And this commandment was
decreed from this time wherein it was so to the end of the world. </p>
<p>Our lord <persName>Abgar</persName> the king commanded, and there was built for him a
building for his royal house----a winter house at <placeName>Tabara</placeName>
----and there he dwelt all the time of winter; and in summer he came down to the new
palace which was built for him at the fountain head. And his nobles also built for
themselves buildings to live in, in the neighbourhood in which the king was, in the
high street (?) which is called <placeName>Beth Saharoye</placeName>. And in order to
restore the welfare of the former city, <persName>Abgar</persName> the king
commanded, and the tributes due from those within, and from those who dwelt in towns,
and in hamlets, were remitted: and tribute was not demanded from them for five years,
until the city was enriched with men, and was crowned with buildings.</p>
<p>Now <persName>Mar Yahab Bar Shemesh</persName>, and <persName>Kajuma Bar
Magartat</persName>, the scribes of <placeName ref="http://syriaca.org/place/78"
>Edessa</placeName>, recorded this event, and the command of
<persName>Abgar</persName> the king: and <persName>Bar Din</persName> and
<persName>Bulid</persName>, who are prefects over the archives of <placeName
ref="http://syriaca.org/place/78">Edessa</placeName>, received and deposited it
within them as trusted of the city (i.e., archivists.) </p>
