Decode Arabic chars from a linux encoding

I'm working on an old file I found on a Linux server and this file contains the Arabic words in the following strange format.

\350\343\240\317\344\307\345\331\307\...

I don't if the Linux convert the Arabic chars automatically or someone did that himself but I need to understand the Arabic written in that way.

So, does anyone knows what is the above format/encoding?
