^{page 97 note 2} The text of this work has had a curious history. The original Greek text was lost, but had been previously translated into Arabic. Th Arabic version was translated into Latin by a certain Englishman, by name Alfredus, whose knowledge both of Arabic and of Latin left something to be desired. The Greek text as given in the Berlin Aristotle is a late Byzantinetranslation from the Latin back again into Greek, and is thus three times removed from the original (see. the Oxford translation of Aristotle, vol. vi, Preface to the de Planiis).
