In searching out this word, I also discovered that Bar Bahlul (fl. mid-10th C) cited one "Ibn Sina," but presumably not the famous #IbnSina who died in 1037 CE, who was not born until c. 980 CE. Bar Bahlul describes his "Ibn Sina" as "I asked the Rumi (Byzantine?) physician Ibn Sina about this." According to the digitized text of Bar Bahlul's dictionary in the Simtho corpus, Bar Bahlul cites Ibn Sina five times, all in the first letter of the alphabet, and never thereafter.

This is like the phenomenon that if you share a name with a really famous person, no one can ever find you on the internet.

Does anyone happen to know anything about this #Byzantine(?) physician named Ibn Sina in the tenth century, probably in #Baghdad?
