### Historical

[edit]

This list of historical Mandaean priests, along with the accompanying notes, is primarily adapted from Buckley (2010).[1]: 349–355  The majority of the names are from colophons (tarik ࡕࡀࡓࡉࡊ) in Mandaean texts that provide detailed information about the scribes who had transcribed them. Note that written Mandaic br means "son of," while written Mandaic pt means "daughter."[1]
