The Syriac account of the conversion of Edessa: the correspondence of Abgar with Jesus, the coming of Addai, the healing of the king, and the succession of Aggai and Palut. It is later than Eusebius' shorter version and richer, and it is the founding document of the Syriac church's account of itself.
