Cyrillona
Cyrillona (fl. 4th century AD) (alternative spelling: Qurilona, a diminutive from Kyrillos) was an early Syriac poet. He was the younger contemporary of Ephrem the Syrian. Gustav Bickell has referred to him as the most important Syriac poet after Ephrem. He was a contemporary of Balai of Qenneshrin. It is speculated that he might have been a nephew of Ephrem the Syrian. Only five of Cyrillona's poems survive, each examined and explained by Griffin, but "On the Grain of Wheat" is of doubtful authenticity. His poem "On Zaccheus", is about the invasion of Syria by Huns, is preserved  on the manuscript "BL Add. 14,591" kept at the British Library. Bibliography. – mons.
