It is necessary to read المواحل instead of المواحل; compare the translation, p. 199), and this is still, as has been noted, the pronunciation used in the country; Humbert, p. 174: "cistern, ماجن (Tunis);” Cherbonneau (Journ. asiat., IVe série, XIII, p. 69): ماجن, pl. مواجن, "cistern." (11) On p. fv, l. 16, it is necessary to read, with three manuscripts, بتاريب and this verb means: to go askew, to kiss, to go in an oblique line; Edrisi, Clim. VI, Sect. 3: نهران بمران في جهة المعرب ويسيران بتاريب; in the direction of the east with a little askewness to the north: 4. Clim.
