The text is accompanied by a doctrinal analysis. The analysis first addresses Yaḥyā’s interpretative strategy, showing that the Syriac Origenist text is commented on from an orthodox point of view. Secondly, several philosophical sources of the annotations are highlighted, most notably the Arabic <i>Liber de causis</i>. The article also investigates the doctrinal parallels between the annotations on the <i>Book of Hierotheos</i> and other works by Yaḥyā, as well as the relationship between Yaḥyā’s annotations and Theodosius’ Syriac commentary on the <i>Book of Hierotheos</i>. A final appraisal of the relationship between Origenism and the transmission of philosophy from Greek into Arabic is provided.
