Syriac Life of Maximus
“17. Now Maximos confined himself in a small cell out of fear ofthe emperor and the patriarchs who had anathematized his teaching. Serving him was Anastasios his pupil, as well as his own disciple Sergios. He stayed in this cell until the Arabs appeared and tookcontrol of Syria and many other areas.”
“18. And because heresy is accustomed to join forces with paganism,
and to take strength to establish itself as a result of some punishment sent,
this wretch (i.e. Maximos), seeing that the land was in the contro! of the
Arabs and there was no longer anyone to restrain and nullify his doctrine,
manifested his fraudulence once again openly, and began to sow his teaching
among certain individuals in the regions of Syria. And because the victorious
emperor Heraklios had died, together with Konstantinos his son and Herakleon
and his mother, and Konstans son of Konstantinos, (still) a young child, had
received the Roman empire, and because Africa was in rebellion against the
emperor at this time, Maximos was encouraged, and at once took Anastasios and
the other brethren with him, and they went up and came to Africa.”
…
20. After they had sown their tares and led astray as many as they
could in Africa, even deceiving the eparch there, whose name was George
(GYWRGY), they then removed from there and came to Sicily, fear of the Arabs
having disturbed them — for by their agency the wrath of God had reached the
whole of Africa. And when they had made the rounds of all the islands of the
sea, they then went up to Rome itself, and by means of their deceitfulness even
Martinos the patriarch there was ensnared, and he fully accepted his doctrine,
with the result that he gathered a synod of 190 bishops to confirm the doctrine
of Maximos.
…
22. And (all) this "RMG[]BWLQR’, who succeeded Theodoros the
emperor’s brother, told me when he came down to pray in the holy city
Jerusalem, when there was peace between Mo‘awia, the Arab emir, and the emperor
Konstans. And all the other things which I am about to write down concern
Maximos and Anastasios and those monks who fled from Africa in the face of the
Arabs, and went up to Rome to the afore-mentioned Martinos ; for I have taken
great care to write down this history truthfully.
23. After Maximos went up to Rome the Arabs seized control of the
islands of the sea, and entered Cyprus and Arvad, ravaging them and taking
(their inhabitants) captive ; and they gained control over Africa and subdued
virtually all the islands of the Mediterranean (lit. the sea). For, following
the wicked Maximos, the wrath of God punished every place which had accepted
his error.
24. The students who had been in the monastery of Hippo Diarrhytus
(PN’ ZRTWS), which we mentioned above, fled in front of the Arabs, and came up
to Rome, where they were received by Martinos as having the same faith as he,
and he gave them a monastery, called in the Latin tongue Cellae novae (QLWNWBWS), which means ‘nine cells’. And they
remained in their error, leading astray all they could.
25. And when Maximos saw that Rome had accepted the foul mire of
his blasphemies, he also went down to Constantinople at the time when Mo‘awia
made peace with the emperor Konstans, having started a war with Abû Turâb, the
emir of Hirta, at Siffin, and defeated him. The emperor Konstans was in
Azorbaijan (‘DRWYGN), and at that point Maximos entered Constantinople, hoping
to corrupt it too with his deception, just as everywhere else.
26. Maximos immediately went and stayed at a convent of nuns,
called Plakidias (PLQYDS), which was in the city; and through his wickedness he
was able to lead them astray away from the truth, and he [taught] them his
pernicious belief, and he [ ] in the
