retranslated from the Latin into the Arabic because the
originals were lost. Are these reproductions the exact texts

In the previous article in this series, on "Eiriny," we
discussed this translational point to a certain extent; and we
had no difficulty in finding its equivalent Hebrew word
"Shalom," because both are identical in the Septuagint and
Hebrew texts. But the Greek compound word "Eudokia"
does not occur, to the best of my knowledge, in the Septuagint
Version, and it is extremely difficult to find out its equivalent
or synonymous term in the original. St. Barnabas does not
mention in his Gospel this angelic hymn and the story of the
Shepherds of Bethlehem; nor do the other Synoptics or the
Epistles in the New Testament.
