Other Arab TranslationsArabic translations of the Arithmetica

From what I've read, in 1975, Jacques Sesiano in his Ph.D. thesis managed to translate four 'new' books from Diophantus' Arithmetica. This brings the total number of books of Arithmetica salvaged to 10 distinct books of Arithmetica, if we include the 6 from Heath's Greek translation.

Does anyone know if any of the 6 Greek version of the books were found in Arabic? Has there been any other major progress in finding the last 3 books?

Thanks!
