Abstract	:	ʿAbd al-Masīḥ b. ʿAbdallāh Ibn Nāʿima al-Ḥimṣī was a third/ninth-century Christian translator. Little is known of him, but one of his translations from Greek into Arabic proved of the greatest importance, that of several treatises by Plotinus (d. 270 C.E.). His full name, which informs us of his Christian faith (ʿAbd al-Masīḥ, “servant of Christ”) and his Syriac origins (al-Ḥimṣī, “from Emesa”), is given by Ibn al-Nadīm (see below) and by Ibn Abī Uṣaybiʿa (d. 668/1270) in his ʿUyūn al-anbāʾ
