page 863 note 1 This happened on Thursday, the 18th of Dhu'l-Qa'da, a.h.. 529 (= Aug. 30, a.d. 1135), according to Bundárí (p. 178), who adds that this assassination was instigated by Sinjar. Compare Anecdote viii of the Chahár Maqála (pp. 37–8) of the separate reprint of my translation.

page 881 note 1 In the remainder of the MS. there appear to be several dislocations, but the lack of catchwords at the foot of each page makes it dificult to arrange the pages in order without a more careful scrutiny than the time at my disposal allowed me to make. The following arrangement seems, from my notes, to be approximately correct:—Ff. 1S3, 161, 155, 156 (end of historical portion); ff. 154, 162–165 (on Wine); fi. 157–160 and (P) 154a (on Chess). The remaining leaves (ff. 166–179) seem to be correctly arranged.
