في كورة انطاكية شيده اميانس الناسك المذكور آنفاً قبل سنة 340 واقام فيه اوسابيوس الناسك.
ذكره ثاودريطس القورشي ويوحنا الا فسسي، وسنة 942 عمر فيه يوحنا السادس برجاً انجب تسعة

“also known as the Great Monastery, is situated south of Siman mountain, a twenty-minute
walk north of the village of Talʿada, in the province of Antioch. It was built before
340 by Amian the ascetic and in it resided Eusebius the ascetic (both men are mentioned
above). This monastery is mentioned by chroniclers Theodoret of Cyrus and John of
Ephesus. In 942, Patriarch John built a tower there. It produced nine bishops. Its
remains can still be seen today.” 5
