Abstract
The dominant influence of the botanico-pharmacological work, De materia medica, of the famous Greek physician and herbalist Pedanios Dioscorides (1st century CE) on the pharmacology and medicinal botany of the scholar-physicians of the Islamic period is a well established and well-known fact. However, its first Arabic translation by Stephanos son of Basileos was far from being satisfactory. The article compares a selection of entries in the translations of Stephanos and Mihrān b. Manṣūr.
