Balai of Qenneshrin

Balai of Qenneshrin (Syriac: ܒܐܠܐܝ ܩܢܫܪܝܢܝܐ), was a Syriac saint who lived in Qinnasrin in the 5th century CE.

Very little is known about his origin, it has been suggested that he might have been a native of Edessa who later moved to Qinnasrin after being ordained a monk.[1]

A collection of sermons is attributed to him as well as a number of hymns found in Beth Gazo.
