jwest@SunBelt.Net asked about Arabic-Greek retroversion:

Besides serving as a Targum on the Arabic texts, a Greek retroversion
made with an eye on the MS/versional/patristic traditions could
serve as a bridge in connecting the Arabic texts back to the sources
from which they came.  Even a reader innocent of Arabic could get useful
information from such a retroversion, even though he would be seriously
handicapped in evaluating the information.
