Rufin d'Aquilée
Minas is credited with several works of Ethiopian literature. He wrote sermons, six of which are still part of the liturgy of Ethiopian monasteries, read a designated times of the year. These six cover the Apostles, the Seventy Disciples, the Dormition of the Virgin, the Feast of the Cross, the 318 attendees of the First Council of Nicaea and the season of spring. Tradition also ascribes to him the translation of the "Book of Revelation" into Geʽez. The translation of the Geʽez text "The Story of How the Interiors of Ethiopia Came to Christianity", an extract from Tyrannius Rufinus on the mission of Frumentius, may also be the work of Minas.
