Ibn Na'ima al-Himsi

Ibn Na‘ima al-Himsi (Arabic: ابن ناعمة الحمصي) (dates unknown; early ninth century) was a Syrian Christian who belonged to the Al-Kindi circle of translators who rendered Greek texts into Arabic. In particular, Al-Himsi translated Aristotle's Sophistical Refutations and Physics into Arabic. It is uncertain as to whether he translated directly from Greek or from intermediary Syriac versions a common technique among the Arabic translators.^[1]
