The purpose of this paper is classification, correction, and elaboration of the most outstanding mistakes and errors occurred in the Arabic translation of Beihaghi History by YahyaAlkheshab and SadeghNashat. This translation has been done based on the edition of GhasemGhani and Ali Akbar Fayaz. The Arabic translation of Beihaghi History as a historical document – which is considered outstanding from the literary and scientific point of view worldwide – is clear, and since the proper understanding of the Persian texts contributes to our knowledge of the Iranian literature and culture, it is indispensable for Iranians to assure the proper translation of those texts for non-Iranians. On the other hand, because of the historical and social subject of this book, its correct translation is considered necessary for Arab researchers. As a result, it is helpful for native speakers of Arabic interested in Persian language and literature. In this article, we have tried to investigate this translation from different points of view; we look into "translators' additions", "translators' reductions", "mistakes in finding lexical and idiomatic equivalents ", and "mistakes in content transmission". In addition, after reviewing each sample, we tried to suggest equivalents that are more suitable for them.
