Simeon Seth

Symeon Seth, "Symeōn Magister of Antioch [son?] of Sēth". His first name may also be spelled Simeon or Simeo.}} (c. 1035 – c. 1110) was a Byzantine scientist, translator, and official under Emperor Michael VII Doukas. He is often said to have been Jewish, but there is no evidence for this. Either of Jewish background, or Jacobite, or Nestorian, or a Rūm, Symeon was definitely a non-Muslim Syrian. He wrote four original works in Greek and translated one from Arabic, and offered early proofs that the Earth was round. Provided by Wikipedia
