Here finishes Klaproth's translation; because the end of the Berlin MS., which served 
that learned Orientalist in making his Extrait, wanted in this place. It is to be regretted, 
however, that he did not annex to his little work the continuation of the Manuscript 
belonging to the «Bibliothèque Royale de Paris», which he has referred to and consulted 
in many places of his Extrait. 
In this place, as well as in the remaining chapters of my Derbend-nâmeh I will supply 
the part deficient in Klaproth’s Extrait with the continuation of Dr. Dorn’s version 
with an English translation and notes: by doing this I think to fill up the defect of 
Klaproth's Extrait and complete my own plan of exhibiting to our readers all « forms » 
of the Derbend-nâmeh accessible to my investigations (read the Preface to this work).

— This passage of Dr. Dorn’s, version is difficult aud perplexing. There we read: e CEE 7, à 
SJ « Hashim the son of Mensayeh 1o0k Derbend from Jeiune the son of Nejm. I bave preferred the firsi 
way: a) because the word dm lis put in the text in the accusative case and Uye in the :nominative 
therefore it is more probable to suspect a mistake ‘in the objective. b) because from our version, of the 
Derbend-nameh. we learn about a certain Jeitne the son of Nejm or Anjum, who some 90 years before the 
epoch here referred to was governor of Perbend (read the conclusion of the Remark 1 to the Part VIII of 
this work.). — There may be a third reading of this passage which would much better illustrate the whole 
statement; but I am -afraid of! being too arbitrary in announcing its preference, since I bave no autho- 
rity to trust upon in regard to the history of Derbend about that time. However I will present it to the
