Moses 1 was a doctor and a deacon of the church of Antioch under the caliphate of al-Mansour 1; in c. 765 he treated the heir-apparent, Isa ibn Musa 1, and in return for gifts from al-Mansour 1 he prepared a drug which rendered Isa ibn Musa 1 comatose, enabling al-Mansour 1 to have his own son al-Mahdi 1 named as successor instead: Theoph. AM 6256 (ἰατρῷ, Μωσεῖ τινι τοὔνομα, διακόνῳ τῆς Ἀντιοχέων ἐκκλησίας).
