Notes

This recension was prepared by Maghribī. In comparison to Translation 1 and Ṭūsī's recension, it is more similar to the Greek text but is still notably different from Translations 2 and 3. Maghribī introduces two propositions, between propositions 11 and 12 of Autolycus, which are not present in other versions.
