Transliteration-transcription method for ancient Greek & Arabic?

Question

I am currently working on a paper that deals with a Psalm from the Septuagint known as the Violet fragment - LXX, Psalm 77.The particular verses i am interested in, are written in Greek uncials, however translated in Arabic, using the same Greek script( so technically it consists a phonetic transcription- translation of the text). What i want to do is transcribe and transliterate both Greek and Arabic text.Which transcription method is considered more suitable and easy to use when transcribing Greek from that period? Also, when it comes to dealing with the translated in Arabic text written in Greek, shall i transcribe, or transliterate the text?

Answer 1

I have never seen Arabic transliterated with Greek letters, so I find your question intriguing. I would suggest that you find an Arabic pronunciation guide and match the Greek sounds to the Arabic and translate the word or phrase into Greek, or English, with the help of an Arabic to Greek lexicon or dictionary, and probably a Greek to English dictionary.
