a conjunction » must be considered as between CS 7% and Çs###J or rather the pronoun LS must 
be thrown off from the first, as we have adopted in our reading. But as to the name of the 
chief, the accordance of the two MSS. (1. e. those of St. Petersburge and Berlin) inclines me to 
attribute an error to our version and to follow the reading of Klaproth; the more so that I could 
meet with no similar name (le), of a Lezghine Prince of that period, in any work in my 
possession. 
Remark 7. page 518. 
See or Rem. 3. to this fourth Part. — The same assertion we find in the MS. of St. 
Petersburg, but Klaproth's translation says, that the chief of the Lezghies gave information to 
the Khazars, which makes no difference at all,

ed the will of Djerrâäh, saymg: «This night I will move, therefore let the troops be in rea- 
diness, » — This addition, though intended to express a military stratagem which might serve 
to deceive the enemy, who had just been secretly informed_ of Djerrah’s intention, and which 
may be explained by a hint in another part of both the MSS. of Berlin and St. Petersburg 
(see the following Rem. 17.), — I rather attribute to a copyist than to the author himself; because 
it is more probable that Djerräh, after: having heard of the treachery of Sabas, cmèdintele ) 
and without having recourse to any stratagem of the kind, which in reality could serve to no 
purpose at that time, made arrangements to move on with his army and attack the ee by 
assault, as suddenly as possible.
