Description of (some particulars concerning Derbend during) 
| the Rhalifate of 
(Mehdi and) Farounur - HReshid. : 
In the year 160, the Khalifate having passed to Harounur-Rashid (Mehdi?), he sent 
Jeiüne the son of Anjum (or rather the son of Nejm) as governor to Derbend; ordering 
him.to collect the yearly revenues imposed upon all the districts belonging to Derbend, 
and to distribute them by degrees amongst the inhabitants and the troops of the fortress. 
(Jeune) arrived at Derbend and, having found its walls and towers strong, laid the 
foundation of oppression, gave himself up to amusements and forbidden actions and neglected 
the affairs of the town: the inhabitants of Derbend were in consequence scattered abroad 
in different quarters. The Khalif of Bagdad, having received information of this, dis- 
patched Rebr'ai-Bahili in the capacity of governor to Derbend, who no sooner reached 
the town, than he arrested the son of Nejm, put his legs in irons and sent him to the 
presence of the Khalif ?.
