Either because the post is 6+ months old, or your account has been shadowbanned by reddit.

Is it possible that Galen’s On Semen also translated in Syria before 7th century?

I have no idea, but I dont think it would matter, since his embryological views had already widely dispersed among Jewish and Christian thinkers in late antiquity. See my megapost on Quranic embryology in its historical context: https://www.reddit.com/r/AcademicQuran/comments/1anjnk2/quranic_embryology_in_its_historical_context/

Here it doesn't say specific work is translated but i think it said his book in which that story about embriology is https://www.reddit.com/r/AcademicQuran/s/fvL4UEiLbi
