as such. — Klaproth’s Extrait in this place says, that the nomination of Haffa as governor 
by the Khalif, who authorised the inbabitants of Derbend to depose him in case, he should 
oppress them without necessity — was a proof of his affection for them &c. Comparing this 
passage with that which we read in the St. Petersburg MS., I am disposed to think that the 
translation is rather arbitrary in Klaproth's Extrait. [ will insert here this passage from 
Dr. Dorn’s version with a faithful translation, praying those of my readers, who may have 
access to the MS. of Derbend-nameh belonging to the Royal Library of Berlin, to compare 
both corresponding parts. Here follows the passage of Dr. Dorn’s version: Jai) Usb

shid having stayed seven years in Derbend resolved to set off for Bagdad. He called for the in- 
habitants of Derbend and caressed them. — In the year 180 he appointed Æafadz the son of 
Omar governor of Derbend and said &c. Read the rest in Remark 8. to this part. 
Remark 7. page 582. 
In the two other versions it ïs said that Æérow: remained seven years in Derbend! 
Remark 8. page 582. 
No one can see any vault or other buildings at the place here pointed out. But at the 
distance of about 30 fathoms from the gate there was at the time 1 lived im Derbend a place of 
Musalla surrounded with a fence of stone, where they performed the prayers of Djendzeh (a 
solemn prayer which is offered up by the Musulmans for the deceased, before they are carrièd 
to the burying-ground). In that place there stood, as tradition reports, the tomb of the son 
or of the sons) of Haroun. Read the end of this note. 
I will here lay before the reader the narrative in the MS. of St. Petersbure, which in many 
points differs from ours and that of Berlin and which in regard to the tombs of Haroun’s sons 
agrees with the tradition referred to.
