Derbend-ndmeh or the History of Derbend. 477 
Tbn-Hawgkel says, that he would not believe the assertion of Mes'oudi, that in the moun- 
tain of triumph there were 300 towns or habitations, until he witnessed the truth himself (see ibid.). 
In our MS. here no, mention. is made of the detail which we read in Klaproth's translation, 
except the names of towns, districts and fortresses &c. which are to be met with in different places 
and which we.have explained in our remarks.. In Dr. Dorn'’s version we find a very incorrect 
detail, which we take the liberty of introducing in this place, after correcting it according to our com- 
prehension. It seems to agree with the detail of the MSS. of Berlin and.Paris, with the exception 
only of some confusion in the order. The corresponding part of Klaproth’s translation we have 
put in our addition between two parentheses [ ]. o fe (r Us alles) coialeless 35 UEL

Dorn'’s version A suggests the idea of its being PE thousand, which is more consistent with probabi- 
lity; the word (##%#%£ must be a false addition here. 
P. Another reading in the margin of the same version is #2} ($ (SJ which certainly must be à 
corruption of our reading.
