Resum

This article discusses texts in Aramaic, Latin and Greek which contain the same, crucial mistake in the description of the anatomy of the eye. We hypothesize that these may have been caused by a misinterpreted anatomical drawing. The article also provides an introduction to ancient ophthalmological texts and their tradition in the East.
