Some Notes on Antonios and His Arabic Translations of John of Damascus Habib Ibrahim The present article is a summary of my new findings about the translator Anto- nios, abbot of the Monastery of Saint Symeon the Younger near Antioch, and about his translation of a corpus of John of Damascus’ works from Greek into Arabic. Whereas Georg Graf and Joseph Nasrallah dated Antonios’ activity to the tenth century , ca. 989 A D, 1 new evidence points to a different dating. The tenth century is uncertain for the following reason: while none of Antonios’ trans- lations can be securely dated to the tenth century, at least one of them is doubtlessly from the eleventh century—as will be documented below. The Arabic corpus of John of Damascus, according to Graf, includes two works from the Fountain of Knowledge: Philosophical Chapters (C P G 8041B) and An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith (CP G 8043), along with five shorter treatises: Exposition and Declaration of Faith (C P G 8078), Against Nestorians (C P G 8053), Against Jacobites (C P G 8047), Against Iconoclasts (a compilation from CP G 8045), and On the Stay of Jesus in the Tomb (according to Graf, a compilation from De fide orthodoxa, Book I V, chapters 27–29). 2 I have previ- ously demonstrated that Antonios, abbot of the Monastery of Saint Symeon the Y ounger translated a corpus of John of Damascus’ works slightly different from the one attributed to him by Graf. 3 I shall summarize these findings below. I shall also discuss several issues concerning these works in the Arabic transla- tion. 1 Graf, GCAL, vol. 2, p. 41; Nasrallah, HMLÉM, vol. 3.1, p. 273. 2 Graf, GCAL, vol. 2, pp. 43–45. Upon verification, this turned out to be not a compilation from De Fide orthodoxa, as stated by Graf, but a short text from the Homily on the Holy Saturday (CPG 8059).
