One Arabic life is a translation of one of the Syriac lives, another is the <i>Vorlage </i>for the Ethiopic version, while the third is known to us only in Arabic. After presenting the manuscript evidence for each of the lives in its respective language, the complex interconnections between them are briefly discussed.
