This paper is concerned with the Arabic translation of the Alexandrian Summaries of Galen's works, and in particular with one of them. These summaries were compiled during the VI-VII centuries by medical professors, iatrosophistae, whose names are variously related. The most elaborate and extensive of these summaries is that of Galen's Ad Glauconem; it is in fact not merely a résumé of its model but an ample paraphrasis with a rich commentary within it. This summary is strictly akin to the Alexandrian commentary on the same Galenic work by Stephanus of Athens and the Latin commentary by Agnellus of Ravenna.
