Abstract
As reported by Cristina d’Ancona in her article “Greek Sources in Arabic and Islamic Philosophy ” ([64]), the translations of the Greek corpus started “before the rise of Islam” ([64], Sect. 1) in Syria, by translations from Greek to Syriac, in the fourth and the fifth centuries (AD) and were made by some “theological schools of Edessa and Nisibi” ([1], Sect. 1).

See, for instance, Tony Street “Arabic Logic” where he notes that “…although it is clear that Stoïc logic filtered through to scholars working in Islamic law and theology, there is no tradition of translating Stoic works and commenting on them comparable to that devoted to Peripatetics works,…” ([137], 526–527).
