Abstract

This article presents a text in Christian Arabic, a dialect used by a small community in the town of is-Swaydī (Samandağ), in Hatay Province, Turkey. The recorded text refers to the figure of il-Xiḍir whose pilgrimage site is located in Samandağ. Christians believe that il-Xiḍir and Saint George are the same person. Apart from the transcription of the text, this article includes its translation and grammatical commentary focused on vowels, pausal forms, and assimilations.
