Various flammable substances were used by different peoples at different times, but supposedly Greek fire had some rather special qualities, like the delivery mechanism, burning on water and sticking to targets. I've never heard of any other group using this particular substance, but anything is possible.
Just out of curiousity, how sure are you of the subject of that line? That single line doesn't say if they are Greek ships or Arab ships. I assume that in the larger context it is clear that he is speaking about Arab ships?
