Syriac Apocalypse
"Are these the commands which thy companion, Jeremiah the prophet, commanded thee, and said unto thee:
2"Look to this people till I go and make ready the rest of the brethren in Babylon, against whom has gone forth the sentence that they should be led into captivity"?
3And now if thou also forsakest us, it were good for us all to die before thee, and then that thou shouldst withdraw from us."
