Abstract
From a short comparison of terminology it is suggested that the Arabic text of Theodosius’ Spbaerica carried by two manuscripts in Hebrew script is a translation different from the one translated by Gerard of Cremona into Latin. An edition of a lemma for Proposition III.ll inter alia supports the hypothesis that this translation is the basis of Moses b. Tibbon’s Hebrew version.
