Syriac Alexander Legend

Composed in Syriac in northern Mesopotamia, the Syriac Alexander Legend, also known as the Neṣḥānā (Syriac: ܢܨܚܢܐ, "triumph"), is a legendary account of the exploits of Alexander the Great. It is independent of the Alexander Romance and served as a source for apocalyptic literature in the 7th century. It is the earliest work to mention the fusion of Alexander's gate with the Biblical apocalyptic tradition of Gog and Magog.
