The contexts in which these translations were produced, and their condition of circulation and reception are still insufficiently known. In order to shed light on this process, we will focus our analysis in one specific text, The Martyrdom of Zebinas and his companions, in order to explore the transmission of hagiographical topoi related to the Christian conception of royal authority, and the limits to the obedience due to pagan rulers. Our hypothesis is that the East-Syrian martyr stories that circulated in Byzantium underwent a complex process of adjustment that involved a wide range of strategies. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el proceso de traducción/adaptación y circulación de la literatura martirial sirio-oriental en el Imperio romano oriental entre los siglos V y VII. En particular, haremos algunas observaciones en torno a las circunstancias de traducción y difusión de dicha literatura y las condiciones que determinaron su recepción. Como hipótesis de trabajo, sostendremos que dicha circulación involucró un proceso complejo de adaptación que comprendía diversas estrategias. En segundo lugar, nos proponemos explorar un aspecto concreto de este proceso: la transmisión de los motivos hagiográficos relacionados con el origen de la autoridad monárquica y los límites de la obediencia debida por los súbditos cristianos a un monarca pagano.
