A3 (NOTES)
I For "el Termidhi" see AB, cvi.
El Bokhari is the most famous of the Kuranic commentators (see Huart, pp. 217-220).
"Muslim" is Abu el Husayn ibn el Haggag, author of a Sahih (see Huart, pp. 218, 219).
"Ibn Nagi" may be the Ibn Abu Nagih mentioned by el Makrizi (Khetdt, I, 275).
II Cp. BA, III (note). III Cp. BA, XXIII, etc.
IV Cp. AB, cxxxii and BA, xlviii. The author of El Gdmd'i el Sughayr was Gelal el Dm el Siuti (1445-1505).
KLenana is obviously omitted here by a slip. VI Cp. BA, cxxx and AB, clxii.
VII For " Gu'uL " (instead of " Ga'al ") cp. D 6, xi. The word translated "considered as a whole" is Z^^ja^.
VIII Cp. BA, cxxxv, etc. XI This paragraph agrees entirely with AB (as opposed to BA) except
that the words "in Basra and" are omitted after "Himyar."
The word translated in BA, li, "mixed with" is i».jji.JL« in A 3, Aej-jji^.^^ in BA, and 3^jl^^ in AB : the last is probably correct.
xii The spelling here varies from that in AB, cxxxvii: "Bag" in AB is " Bega " in A 3, " Khashba" in AB is " Hashba " in A 3, " Ghibra" (AB) becomes "Kibrat" (A3), and "'Athir" becomes "'Afir."
xiii The Arabic of " I was given. . . " is

For Kamil el Murshid cp. A 4, 11. XIV Cp. AB, CLXVi.
For "the fertile lands" {•^^iy^y) the text of A 3 gives "el 'Irak" (oIjjOI). AB gives <^\ij^)\ .
XV Cp. AB, xxxix and BA, cxxxiii et seq. _xvi-xxxw The text of these sections contains only what is in the tree.
" Suwayh " is written for " Shuwayh," " KodiAt " for " GhodiAt," " Gho- mar" for "'Omar," and (once) "Hamayd" for "Hamaydan": these four slips have been corrected in the tree.
The fact that "Hamayd el Nawam" is spoken of proves that A3 was not taken from AB, for AB expressly condemns that version (see BA, CLiv, note). The original of A 3, on the contrary, was evidently used by
the author of AB.
The names of 14 sons of Hammad el Akrat are given as in the tree,
but the form in each case, e.g. "Serrarabi," "Nafa'abi," etc., is not that
