Saint Basil Liturgy: from coptic to arabic

(1/1)

Marina:
I need some info about the liturgy of Saint Basil: in particular, when it was translated in arabic, who made the translation, and what was the situation of the coptic church in that period, who was the Patriarch for example.
And do you know if the current arabic translation published and used in the churches, corresponds to the original text in coptic?

I'm waiting for your answers! And thanks!
