Syriac translation of a work on agriculture by Vindanius Anatolius of Beirut (4th cent.), for which only a fragment in Greek survives.
贝鲁特 (Beirut) 的文达尼乌斯·阿纳托利乌斯 (Vindanius Anatolius)（4 世纪 (4th cent.)）所著农业著作的叙利亚语 (Syriac) 译本，其中仅存一份希腊语 (Greek) 残篇。
The incomplete work on agriculture in a 9th-cent. ms., published by de Lagarde under the title ‘Geoponica’, has been identified as a translation of a work by Vindanius Anatolius of Beirut (4th cent.), for which only a fragment in Greek survives, though his work was used by Cassianus Bassus (6th cent.) and thence in the later Greek Geoponika (ed. H. Beckh, 1895). The Syriac was translated into Arabic, and this in turn was used in Ibn Waḥshiyya’s ‘Nabatean Agriculture’ and in the work attributed to ‘Balinas’ (Apollonius of Tyana). The Syriac translation is of considerable lexical interest (Seidel). What was once thought to be a second ms. (Mingana Syr. 599) has been shown to have been derived from a copy made from the printed edition.
一部 9 世纪 (9th-cent.) 手稿 (ms.) 中关于农业的未完成著作，由德·拉加德 (de Lagarde) 以《农书》(Geoponica) 为题出版，已被确认为贝鲁特 (Beirut) 的文达尼乌斯·阿纳托利乌斯 (Vindanius Anatolius of Beirut)（4 世纪 (4th cent.)）一部作品的译本，该作品仅存希腊语残篇，尽管其著作被卡西安努斯·巴苏斯 (Cassianus Bassus)（6 世纪 (6th cent.)）所用，并由此进入后来的希腊语《农书》(Geoponika) (ed. H. Beckh, 1895)。该叙利亚语译本被译为阿拉伯语，进而被用于伊本·瓦赫什亚 (Ibn Waḥshiyya) 的《纳巴泰农业书》(Nabatean Agriculture) 以及归于“巴利纳斯”(Balinas)（即提亚纳 (Tyana) 的阿波罗尼乌斯 (Apollonius of Tyana)）名下的著作中。该叙利亚语译本具有相当的词汇学价值 (赛德尔 (Seidel))。曾被认为是第二部手稿 (ms.)（Mingana Syr. 599）的本子，已被证明源自根据印刷版制作的抄本。
